Weekly round-up #85
Firstly, a reminder that the 4th and final round of VALIDATE Pump-Priming grants is currently live! Members can apply for up to £50,000 for research relevant to VALIDATE's remit and four focus pathogens, to gain proof-of-concept, or initial/pilot data that will help you to go on to larger funding applications to external agencies. We particularly encourage projects led by LMIC and/or post-doc members. The deadline for applications is 4pm (UK) on the 22nd of October 2019. To find out more, and to apply, take a look at the call webpage.
