This initiative is a rolling call which aims to provide researchers across the BRC with the opportunity to request funds for specific activities to progress their research and support the BRC’s vision to transform lives through world-class research in ageing and multiple long-term conditions.
We’ve had a great response to the scheme and have been able to support a range of important activities but we will be closing the scheme to applications on 31 March 2025.
We hope to relaunch it in future so please look out for announcements in the months to come.
