Core Awards
BSPGHAN/Core Grant
The British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN - www.bspghan.org.uk) together with Core (www.corecharity.org.uk) aim to promote collaborative studies across the spectrum of paediatric gastrointestinal, hepatological and nutritional disorders. The joint funding bodies are pleased to invite applications from collaborative studies that would progress, once pilot data are obtained, onto larger projects seeking major grant funding e.g. research councils.
The research call will propose to fund 1-2 projects. Applications are invited up to a maximum of £70,000 for studies conducted over a maximum of 2 years. Selected project/s should be eligible for NIHR Clinical Research Network support and therefore for NHS support costs.
The eligibility criteria for any proposed award will include:
- The research may cover any aspect of paediatric health in Gastroenterology, Hepatology or Nutrition.
- The Principal Investigator(s) must be a member of BSPGHAN.
- The projects must involve collaboration across at least two paediatric units (undertaking gastroenterology or hepatology or nutrition at a secondary or tertiary level).
Deadline: 5pm, 13th January 2012.
