Care Life Cycle Research Programme
The 'Care Life Cycle' research programme, based at the University of Southampton, is the first research programme to deal comprehensively with the factors affecting both the supply and demand of health and social care. The programme aims to develop a suite of innovative modelling tools incorporating factors associated with the supply and demand of health and social care as well as expert opinion, to inform the development of social policy. An interdisciplinary team, comprised of academics from the ESRC Centre for Population Change (CPC), the Centre for Research on Ageing (CRA) the Institute for Complex Systems Simulations (ICSS) and the Centre for Operational Research, Management Science and Information Systems (CORMSIS) are involved in this work which is co-Directed by CPC's Director Professor Jane Falkingham, CPC's co-Director Professor Maria Evandrou, Professor Sally Brailsford (Management Science) and Dr Seth Bullock (Complexity Science).This research programme is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
