About this Event
Join us as we launch the "INSPIRE Portsmouth for the MRC" funding scheme!
This funding scheme, being delivered by the University of Portsmouth and funded via the Medical Research Council, will be supporting researchers to work with people and communities in the development of their research proposal ideas.
This workshop will be of interest to University of Portsmouth academics, researchers (at any career stage), and post-graduate research students, along with their collaborators, developing research topics that align with the Medical Research Council. External parties will need to collaborate with an individual at the University of Portsmouth to be eligible to apply for this funding scheme.
