‘Healthy Planet, Healthy People’: Catalyst Awards are designed to support community-led ​​research. Funding of up to £5,000 is available to conduct a research project for up to 12 months.

This can be a new or existing research project that promotes the health of individuals through fostering healthy environments and communities, and enabling access to healthy foods.

Key Criteria

The William Trust and RSE are looking for demonstrator pilot-scale projects led by community-based individuals or organisations.

They must speak to one of three topics:

  • Climate
  • Nature
  • Food

The main themes for the awards are:

  • People: awarded projects may identify neglected voices on particular topics and conduct research on this topic guided by these voices, taking a people-centred approach.
  • Problem: awarded projects may address and identify issues through data collection and analysis.
  • Practice: awarded projects may propose novel practical solutions to an established problem.
