Funding Announcement:
M2D is currently inviting proposals for feasibility studies within the three core themes of the network. There are four funding schemes available, ranging from £10 - 25K. We will operate a continuous open call for applications throughout the lifetime of the network, but projects will be assessed by the Expert Panel at regular meetings, occurring every three months.
The Pilot Project scheme will fund innovative projects expected to lead to a grant application. These should have investigators from at least two disciplines and engagement with decision makers. We will only fund PI salaries in exceptional circumstances. Funding limit: £25k. Maximum duration: 6 months.
The Early Career Researcher scheme will fund early career researchers to work up an idea that could lead to a first grant or fellowship application. Funding limit: £10k. Maximum duration: 3 months.
The Embedded Research scheme will fund network members to spend a short period working in a different discipline or with a non-academic partner. Funding limit: £10k. Maximum duration: 3 months.
The Workshops, Sandpits and Short Courses scheme. Proposals for workshops and sandpits will need to demonstrate that they are addressing current topics of relevance that might lead to grant proposals. Short courses will need to demonstrate a need from users. Funding limit: £20k. Maximum duration: 3 days.
M2D Annual Conference, 2017 – Save the Date:
M2D will be hosting its first Annual Conference on the 11 – 14th July 2017 at the University of Exeter, UK.
More details to follow shortly on the M2D website.
