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.


Does the Earth magnetic field spin up the polar vortex in the outer core?

The successful applicant will work under the supervision of Professor Alban Potherat. Applications are invited for a PhD position in Geophysical Fluid Dynamics within the project "Does the Earth's magnetic field spin out the polar vortex in the outer core?", funded by the Leverhulme Trust, at the Research Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems (FCS) at Coventry University.


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.


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.


REsilient Water Innovation for Smart Economy (REWAISE)

REWAISE will create a new “smart water ecosystem”, mobilising all relevant stakeholders to make society embrace the true value of water, reducing freshwater and energy use.

Bioleaching technology for the recovery of metals from Electronic Waste - Research Project

The aim of the project is to develop a sustainable and environmentally friendly method to recover precious metals from electronic waste that will create a closed-loop system to recycle metals back into the supply chain as required in a sustainable circular economy.


Investigating environmental pollution in India by Contaminants of Emerging Concern transported in floodwaters and the potential of bioremediatation using Nature-based Solutions

This project studies how floods move harmful chemicals in a city in India and looks at natural ways to reduce this pollution. The PhD will take place in India and the UK, combining fieldwork, lab experiments, and advanced chemical analysis using mass spectrometry.
