Fabio Sani awarded large ESRC grant

Prof. Fabio Sani has been awarded a large grant (£504,000) to conduct a 4-year longitudinal and cross-national study on the effects of identification with groups (e.g., the family, community, and workplace) on health and well-being. The project will involve 4,000 participants. As well as Fabio Sani, the Dundee University team will include Dr. Michael Norbury and Dr. Pauline Lockhart, from Ninewells Hospital, and Dr. Juliet Wakefield, also from the School of Psychology. The study will be carried out in collaboration with tree medical teams, two in Scotland and one in Italy. The project is endorsed by the Royal College of General Practitioners in Scotland, and several other important health constituencies.
