Intention to submit a proposal closing date: 15 November 2016
The EPSRC Healthcare Technologies theme invites applications to an initiative designed to create a cohort of the most promising future leaders who will develop new research capabilities across the EPSRC portfolio to address unmet healthcare needs. This call is intended to support early career researchers (ECRs) to develop a personal programme of high quality, creative and multidisciplinary research; and to build and grow their research group. A budget of £7-10million is available to support approximately 7-10 personal awards of up to five years' duration.
This call seeks to enable ECRs to realise their transformative research vision which addresses long term health challenges, through a flexible and high profile award. Applicants to this call should have demonstrable leadership potential, both in terms of team leadership and research field leadership, and they should be strongly supported by their host institution. EPSRC seeks applicants who want to revolutionise healthcare technologies both through the development of transformative fundamental research and through the integration of approaches which ensure user needs are considered. Furthermore, applicants should seek to design their research to minimise the barriers to the implementation of its outputs in a healthcare context.
