The four objectives of the Sustainable Aquaculture call are to: - Deliver bioscience and environmental science research projects that address one, or more, of the seven priorities for aquaculture research. - Build capacity by drawing in new researchers to the aquaculture sector (e.g. epidemiology, immunology, gut health, remote sensing, human health, and physical and ecosystem modellers) to work in collaboration with aquaculture researchers. - Expand the uptake and development of novel tools, methods, and technologies -Encourage multidisciplinary, systems science and cross council approaches To support the pre-clinical development of new cardiovascular medicines and £250,000 technologies so that they are attractive for follow-on funding. The grant will help to bridge the funding gap between promising innovations and the clinic with the aim of accelerating advances in cardiovascular science for patient benefit. Two stage application process, first stage is a preliminary outline application and successful applications will then be asked for full applications - there is no deadline for the outline applications.
