The James Lind Alliance (JLA) is a non-profit making initiative bringing patients, carers and clinicians together in JLA Priority Setting Partnerships (PSPs). JLA PSPs identify and prioritise unanswered questions that they agree are the most important, so that researchers and funders are aware of the issues that matter most to the people who need to use the research in their everyday lives.

ACHA was awarded match funding from the Vivensa to establish its first PhD programme, to support ACHA’s academic ambitions to build research capacity in Healthy Ageing.
“New approaches to FrAilty: Inclusivity and REsilience in Ageing Research” (FAIRER-DTP) began in January 2025.
FAIRER will focus, like ACHA, on applied health research, responding to the needs of our local population and health and care system and seeking implementable solutions. ACHA academics will oversee the programme via a Steering Group. The ACHA group and wider collaborators have designed PhD projects based on the three overarching areas of ACHA:
- frailty prevention and living well with long term conditions and multimorbidity
- rehabilitation
- cognition
