Grants
Our goal is to support research that helps improve knowledge about factors that impact mental health in a built environment and ways to improve it.
Academic Research
We partner with renowned academics who study built environment and provide funding for their research. Our rigorous selection process enables us to identify suitable candidates for funding and issues that are of most importance.
The findings of the research are openly shared with the public and also used to influence improvements in the built environment.
The practical application of the findings would allow policy makers and market participants to use the research in their planning and decision making process whilst also benefiting people who are using the places for work and personal needs.
