Funding
The Capital4Health consortium “Capabilites for active lifestyle: An interactive knowledge-to-action research network for health promotion” is funded the second time by the Federal Ministry of Research and Education (2018-2021, FKZ 01EL1421A) and had already received funding for the first phase (2015-2018).
Objectives
Capital4Health aims to develop and research capabilities for active lifestyles among different population target groups and among professional target groups as well as the structural capacities located at the organizational and system level through an interactive knowledge-to-action approach. It is a regionally based, transdisciplinary consortium from research institutions (university and non- university-based, national and international), policy and practice partners.
Board of Speakers
IThe board of speakers comprises all professors of the empirical projects that act as principle investigators and co-investigators, the speaker of the young researchers’ network, as well as the research coordinator.
Transdisciplinary Steering Committee
Capital4Health links researchers with local implementation partners and foster collaboration with other relevant actors in the state of Bavaria (e.g. ministries, agencies, universities) to ensure the sustainability and transferability of the developed interventions.
At the consortium level, there will be a steering committee consisting of principal investigators, research partners from the two cross-cutting subprojects, and selected partners from practice and policy.
It will support subprojects, foster bilateral cooperation, and provide the synthesis necessary to develop a common conceptual, methodological and theoretical inventory for generalizable research and implementation approaches.
It will also promote institutional networks to complement cooperation in the subprojects, improve transdisciplinary collaboration between theoretical and empirical researchers in the consortium, and define a joint research agenda
Young Researcher
The consortium is values the supporting their young researchers during their qualification process. Therefore young researchers meet regularly and work on overarching topics.
Advisory Board
Internationally leading researchers are members the advisory board. They contribute to international visibility of the research consortium, support transferability of methods, interventions and results of the projects.
The advisory board meets once a year with the consortium. In between meetings, members stay in touch to inform about news, relevant studies and projects and to share experience with the Capital4Health projects.
