Centre for Future Health makes first set of funding awards
A total of £256,343 has been awarded to thirteen new projects across eleven departments spanning all three faculties. Details of the individual projects are listed below.
The standard of applications was high with many more received than could be supported. The awarded projects range from supporting research into identifying disease mechanisms and potential new drug targets through to fostering knowledge exchange with external partners across the globe from academia to industry to charities and NGOs. A further funding round is planned for the autumn.
Centre for Future Health Director Alex Wade said: ‘I am very pleased with the response to our first funding call; it was inspiring to read so many varied and innovative proposals’.
