Weekly round-up #92
Weekly round-up #92
Another week has flown by, and it's been a busy one for many of our members with the new University year starting across the UK and the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. If you have a new student in your group working on research relevant to VALIDATE, don't forget to encourage them to join. We welcome all levels of researcher at VALIDATE, from undergraduate all the way to Professor - and everything in between!
If you were unable to attend our 2019 ECR Workshop, 3rd Annual Meeting or VALIDATE-BSI Conference - or you did attend and want to see some of the photos! - then take a look at the newly published VALIDATE 2019 Events Report to find out what we got up to during the week's activities.
A reminder that there is now only one week left to apply for our two ongoing funding opportunities:
Firstly, our final pump-priming grants, which provide up to £50,000 of funding. Projects should run for a maximum of 12 months and should lead to relevant and useful data for the field, or produce pilot data that will lead to a larger grant application to an external funder. Projects must be scientifically excellent, and fall within the VALIDATE remit.
Secondly, our latest training grant call, these provide up to £3,000 to help VALIDATE Associates take advantage of training opportunities that will contribute to their professional development. This can include (but is not limited to) attendance at courses or workshops, laboratory exchanges, and work shadowing.
The deadline for both calls is on the 22nd of October - please see the relevant links above in order to find out further information and to apply.
We'd also like to welcome our newest Affiliate members:
- Prof Benny Chain (UCL, UK) and Aparna Dravid (Kasturba Medical College, India).
