Dear Colleague,
I am emailing to announce a new research initiative which we believe to
be of specific interest to you.
The Innovative Health Technologies Programme is a five year research
initiative funding various research projects within
UK universities over two Phases. Twenty Phase I projects have been
awarded, with start dates between January and
May 2001, and another ten projects for a second Phase are anticipated to
begin in 2002. The IHT Programme brings
together social scientists and those working in public health and
clinical practice to explore the social implications of new
technologies, such as the new genetics, telemedicine, or NHS Direct, and
the way these innovations are influenced by
society.
The £5m Programme is supported by the Economic and Social Research
Council and the Medical Research Council.
If you have any questions about the programme then please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Yours faithfully
Stephanie Gant
On behalf of Professor Andrew Webster - Programme Director
Please excuse the mass mailing.
