Welcome

The Health Promotion Research Centre (HPRC) at the University of Galway produces high-quality research of national and international significance that supports the development of best practices and policy in the promotion of health. The Centre has an active multidisciplinary research programme and collaborates with regional, national and international agencies on the development and evaluation of health promotion interventions and strategies. HPRC is a World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Health Promotion Research.

The multidisciplinary research team with expertise in both qualitative and quantitative approaches employs a wide range of research methods, as appropriate to specific projects. There is a demonstrated commitment to the ongoing methodological and theoretical development of Health Promotion and Population Health. The Centre has a track record of success in securing competitive funding both nationally and internationally. An important aspect of our work is ensuring that our research activity and findings are disseminated through reports, peer-reviewed publications and conference presentations. A full list of these can be found on our dissemination page.
