This event will offer an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of the Programme Grants for Applied Research (PGfAR) funding stream. Extracellular vesicles are small nanoparticles with average size 50-1000 nm which have recently emerged as a novel means of communication. Their compositional complexity provides the basis for implication in the variety of biological processes. Early career researchers (clinical doctors, biologists, chemists, physicists and mathematicians) cordially invited to apply to attend workshop. Deadline for applications is December 19th. Travel grants are available for Early Career Researchers. The current Ebola conference is being planned jointly with scientists from Public Health England (UK) and the Wellcome Trust, while keeping these concerns in view; and to bring together all those involved in Ebola research and containment onto a single platform, to share experiences, to help formulate a common containment and treatment theme and to find the way forward. The workshop is open to all those in any discipline who are working, or interested in working, in research relating to Multimorbidities in older people. Representatives from a range of NIHR programmes and supporting NIHR infrastructure will attend to advise on the various funding routes available and provide help and guidance on developing and submitting an application. Professor Marshall’s talk, plus two presentations from current Bristol award holders and a Q&A session will take place This document was generated by Research and Enterprise Development.

The programme promises to be an exciting mix of plenary presentations, parallel sessions and posters. The event will promote debate and new learning across the full range of public health disciplines in the South West. The Spring Meeting for Clinician Scientists in Training is a unique cross specialty event designed to bring clinical academic trainees together to present their work and network with senior scientists in a supportive and nurturing environment. The meeting combines oral and poster competitions with inspiring talks from senior scientists. There are ample networking opportunities which are a superb chance for budding clinical academics to get noticed.The deadline for abstract submissions for all competitions is Friday 5 September 2013, 17:00. Staff Development Training: This session will give you an introductory overview to the support that is given for applicants applying for grants and the opportuntities there are for funding. Ideally suited to those new to the application process. Staff Development training : What makes a good research bid? In addition to the perspective of the academic, you will be invited to consider from the perspective of the funder and peer reviewer. Important elements of bid preparation and most common reasons for failure will be explored with advice and tips being provided throughout the day on best practice. The workshop will be interactive in nature and you will be encouraged to share experiences and partake in group exercises. This workshop is aimed at those who already have some experience of applying for or have been involved in an application for funding.
