Applications are now open for the 2021 Medical Research Council funded Confidence in Concept scheme, awards which are administered by the university.

These grants are designed to support discovery research to facilitate acceleration to early stage therapeutic / diagnostic development in any area of health and offer funding to support preliminary work, or feasibility studies, which establish the viability of the approach.

Who can apply?
Members of the University of Nottingham with prospective projects which are suitable for early stage translational research funding can apply.

Projects should aim to generate sufficient preliminary data to establish the viability of an approach before seeking more substantive translational funding (e.g. from the Developmental Pathway Funding Scheme (DPFS)).

To apply, visit the Workspace pages and follow the instructions.

The deadline for applications is Tuesday 2 November 2021 at 4pm.
