The Hub Award

You can apply for The Hub Award if you are part of a group of researchers and creative professionals who want to look at a health-related question in an innovative and experimental way.

Your group must be able to work as a collaborative residency at The Hub , a transdisciplinary research centre at Wellcome Collection in London.

Your proposed project should challenge how people think and feel about health, and fit with Wellcome's purpose .

We expect you to produce new insights, methodologies and interventions that will either build on existing knowledge or focus on a new field of research.

You should also develop a programme to engage the public with your research.

Examples of proposed activities and outcomes include (but are not limited to):

• contributions to your area of research, for example articles, essays or an impact on health policy or practice
• creative activities, for example new artworks, exhibitions, radio, TV or other engagement activities (at Wellcome Collection or elsewhere)
• methodological innovations
• seminars, workshops, lectures, debates or public talks
• capacity building and training.

Your group should consist of people from different backgrounds, such as the arts, health and academia.

The number of people in your group should be justifiable for your proposed project. Previously, we've funded groups of four to 10 people. Find out about our current and previous groups .

One member of your group should lead the project. This person will need to spend at least half of their time on the project.

All members of the group should have a good track record in their area of expertise.

In your proposal, you should describe:

• how being based at Wellcome Collection and working with Wellcome teams will benefit your project
• your group’s expertise and what each member will do
• your proposed activities and outcomes
• your intended audience and how you’ll engage with them.
