The BRC’s Cardiovascular diseases theme is inviting proposals for grants to support translational science aligned with the theme’s research strategy.
Awards of up to £125,000 are available. The deadline for applications is Friday 8 February.
Researchers can apply for:
- Strategic grants of up to £125,000 over 24 months, for stellar research projects with potential for high-impact publications and large-scale external funding of £1 million or more
- Excellence awards of up to £75,000 over 18 months, to enable research teams to recruit and help teams secure external funding
- Small grants of up to £50,000 for up to 24 months, to add value to existing (or anticipated) grants that have a high chance of a strong translational research output within the current BRC funding round (until March 2022).
Awards may be used for:
- Salary support for critical research staff, including staff employed to undertake skilled analysis of data
- Research consumable costs including specialist imaging costs
- Costs of specialist assays or measures including genotyping
- Costs of sample preparation to make existing datasets better able to garner external funds (eg preparation of DNA from stored blood samples)
Completed applications should be sent to Joseph Mirza (Theme Operations Manager) at joseph.mirza@ucl.ac.uk.
