The ENHANCE research group is funded by the New South Wales (NSW) Ministry of Health Prevention Research Support Program (PRSP). The PRSP provides funding to NSW research organisations conducting prevention and early intervention research that aligns with NSW Health priorities. PRSP funding supports research infrastructure and strategies to build research capability and translate evidence from research into policy and practice.
Since 2017 the ENHANCE research group at Early Start have been working closely with partner Local Health Districts and the Centre for Population Health to strengthen the evidence related to the promotion of healthy eating and active living in alignment with NSW Health priorities and strategies.
The ENHANCE research plan aligns with the NSW Health First 2000 Days Implementation Strategy (Strategy 2.5) and the NSW Healthy Eating and Active Living Strategy 2022-2032 while aiming to build the research capacity of health promotion staff at NSW Health.
