Applying Evidence to Real-World Questions

We carry out rigorous evidence reviews to answer questions about real-world challenges. Our roots are in the Covid pandemic, but we now aim to address a broad range of complex issues which have a public health dimension - from emerging diseases to the health effects of climate change. We thrive on collaboration, and continue to build partnerships with others who share our goals. We seek to build capacity in the next generation of public health researchers - postgraduate students and alumni with relevant training or experience are welcome to join us, and we produce a variety of open-access resources which are available for use around the world.

We are a network of population health researchers and information specialists, including students, graduates and staff at the University of Edinburgh, and partners around the world. Find about the Core Team and UNCOVER Associates here.

UNCOVER has as an extensive portfolio of publications and reports covering a wide range of public health topics. Access the complete list here. Information of our funders is also provided here.

We aim to build capacity for evidence reviews, to help support evidence-based decision-making around the world. Our teaching and learning materials are freely available to anyone who wants to develop their own evidence synthesis skills, or support others in doing so.
