The Engineering and Physical Sciences Council invites proposals for its healthcare technologies discipline hopping award. This enables researchers to visit a different research or user environment to understand the impact of and need for research in STEM or ICT in addressing health challenges.
Academic employees of an eligible organisation who are resident in the UK may apply. The following researchers are prioritised:
鈥ngineering, physical sciences, mathematical sciences or ICT researchers, who wish address key healthcare challenges and need to widen their expertise, or want to spend time in a non-academic environment, such as an NHS trust;
鈥esearchers in other relevant disciplines, including clinicians with academic appointments, who want to spend time in an academic engineering, physical sciences, mathematical sciences or ICT research environment.
The awards are tenable for between three and 12 months and cover 80 per cent of the salary for the PI, travel, subsistence and resources for the specific activities.
