  • To support an interdisciplinary network of researchers to collaborate on research projects and share knowledge.
  • To develop innovative solutions to improve human health and well-being.
Eligibility

To be eligible, applicants must:

  • Be based at a research organisation eligible for Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) funding.
  • Meet individual eligibility requirements.
