STFC-MRC 'Discipline Hoppers' awards

Call closed

Discipline Hopping Awards provide short term support to pump prime new collaborations between Engineers and Physical Scientists with Life Scientists, with the aim of fostering long-term interaction. This scheme allows researchers who have a track record in their own field in the physical sciences to apply for funding to investigate and develop ideas, skills and collaborations in the areas of biological, clinical, health services and public health research. Alternatively, Life Science researchers can apply for funding to develop ideas, skills and collaborations with physical scientists.

Grants can last from three months to a year.

The Discipline Hopping awards competition is run by the Medical Research Council (MRC) in partnership with some of the other Research Councils (EPSRC, BBSRC and Science Technology Facilities Council). For more information, please visit the MRC website (link opens in a new window).
