The day will consist of:
· Speakers from 4 major biomedical public translational research funders (MRC, Wellcome Trust, NIHR and CRUK, spanning preclinical to clinical) presenting their schemes, tips and tricks
· A panel discussion with current award holders, panel members and funders, around their experience of the schemes, decision making about awards and carrying out translational research
· Following lunch, bookable 1:1 sessions with the funders to discuss project ideas
Are you thinking of developing or trialling a new medicine, medical device, diagnostic or surgical intervention?
