New International Research Study on Arts and Cultural Engagement

The Social Biobehavioural Research Group at University College London was recently awarded a £3.5m Wellcome Discovery Award for a seven-year research study on the impact of arts and cultural engagement (ACEng) on health outcomes. GRACE-Epi will enlist a consortium of researchers across the globe to investigate the long-term benefits of engagement with the arts, including the first-ever study on the biological signature of ACEng and its impact on aging. Updates on the study will be posted on their website and in their January newsletter.
