The Development of a framework and toolkit to support a physical activity for health pathway in England

The aim of the project is to develop a framework and valid tools that support the delivery of physical activity pathways across England. Physical activity pathways support people with/at risk of health conditions to become more active.

Identification of novel double-stranded RNA elements in developing antibiotic resistance in the agricultural environment

The goal of the project is to identify and subsequently characterise the dsRNA dimension of the animal gut microflora (both the differential presence of antisense bound to mRNA and phage dsRNAs containing novel genetic information in response to AB pressure). Identification of novel functional dsRNAs (asRNA bound to its target and phage dsRNAs involved in AR) will mark a paradigm shift in our understanding of the development of AR and future approaches to treating infections.

JiCSAV: Justice in Covid-19 for Sexual Abuse and Violence

Impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on criminal justice journeys of adult and child survivors of sexual abuse, rape, and sexual assault

Develop in the Open (DITO)

Investigators seek to improve patient outcomes and reduce staff administration time when developing digital systems to enable their constant improvement and remove vendor lock-in.

Compressive Population Health: Cost-Effective Profiling of Prevalence for Multi Non-Communicable Diseases via health Data Science

This project proposes a novel paradigm, called compressive population health (CPH for short), to reduce the data collection cost during the profiling of prevalence to the maximum extent.

A big-data-centric hearing impairment rehabilitation solution

A big-data-centric hearing impairment rehabilitation solution using a novel and affordable hearing aid tailored for tonal language speakers, personalised hearing screening, and online therapeutic calibration and motivation service

Mental Health and Productivity Pilot

Coventry University is co-leading a group of health professionals, academics and business leaders who have been awarded £6.8m by Government to tackle poor mental health in the workplace with a focus on the East and West Midlands regions.

The ‘Taste & See’ cluster randomised controlled trial

Taste & See is a church based programme for developing a healthy relationship with food.

Pilot of a teacher training intervention to deliver student-centred motor learning pedagogical approaches

This project is a pilot of a teacher training intervention to deliver student-centred motor learning pedagogical approaches and improve primary school children’s motor competence and motivation in physical education

Addressing GPCR conformational flexibility

The large G protein coupled receptor (GPCR) family is a highly interesting target for drug design because a large proportion of current drugs bind to its members, and because the family offers much potential to exploit new targets.

Investigating the function and substrate interaction network of ABHD16A, a novel regulator of protein S-acylation

This study aims to characterise the molecular mechanisms and functions of a novel APT, ABHD16A.

Comparison of RR intervals and heart rate variability between disposable and reusable electrocardiography leads

The aim of the project is to assess heart rate variability using novel disposable ECG leads in healthy subjects, and to assess the agreement between heart rate variability measures obtained using disposable and reusable electrocardiography leads.

Learning 4 All: A Framework for Disability Inclusion in Research and Education

Funded by the British Council Going Global Disability Inclusion Partnerships, Learning4All brings together Coventry University, Manchester Metropolitan University, and Pakistan’s National University of Sciences and Technology (NUST) to advance disability inclusion in higher education. Guided by an Advisory Board of senior academics, policy leaders, and disability advocates from both countries, the project is grounded in co-creation with staff and students with disabilities, ensuring that lived experience shapes every output, from the national needs assessment to the development of inclusive principles and gender-responsive curriculum resources.

Hamilton Studio, Bombay: the first twenty years after partition

This project will digitise negatives, prints and documents at Hamilton Studio from the twenty years after Partition (1947-67), a period of change and political flux in India and of mass migration to the UK.

Managing the migration crisis? Undocumented migrants and refugees at Europe’s southern border

Over recent years, hundreds of thousands of people have crossed the Mediterranean to Italy as part of what has come to be known as Europe’s ‘migration crisis’. An intensification of controls on international population movements has taken place both at sea and after arrival. This project seeks to better understand what the impact of attempts by EU institutions and national governments to manage the crisis has been on migrants’ status and journeys. It serves to document the ongoing crisis through the experiences of newly arrived migrants and refugees.

Waste Food-Energy-Water Urban Living Labs - mapping and reducing waste in the food-energy-water nexus

We aim to map and substantially reduce waste in the urban food-energy-water (FEW) nexus in city-regions across three continents: Europe, Africa and South America. We will establish four Urban Living Labs (ULL) of key stakeholders who will undertake participatory research to: a) map resource flows; b) identify critical dysfunctional linear pathways; c) agree the response most appropriate to the local context (e.g. policy intervention, technology diffusion); d) model the market and non-market economic value of each intervention; and e) engage with decision makers to close each loop.

Exploring the Impacts of Brexit for Protected Food Names PFN in the UK

This research aims to explore the potential impacts and opportunities associated with Brexit for UK Protected Food Name Schemes (PFNs), and to create policy recommendations at the UK member state and national devolved scale for the future governance of PFNs.
