CATS and OTR invite you to the Launch Event of the Wellcome Trust Developing Concept Fund and MRC Confidence in Concept scheme. Please come to this event to find out more about these funding opportunities. Submissions to these internal pump-priming funding schemes for biomedical translational research will be open soon after the launch event. The MRC Confidence in Concept fund is intended to accelerate the transition from discovery research to translational development projects by supporting preliminary work or feasibility studies to establish the viability of an approach. The WT Developing Concept Fund is aiming at an earlier stage of translational research, with a view to having sufficient evidence to support an MRC Confidence in Concept award in the future. Tea, coffee and lunch will be provided. Please contact Cathy Boucher (WT DCF) or Estelle Bernard-Fichet (MRC CiC) if are planning on coming to the event or to express an interest in the funding.
