The monthly newsletter from the West Midlands Academic Health Science Network - improving health and creating wealth

This month we're excited to announce two brand new NCCPE opportunities...

The latest CLAHRC blog is now available to read, featuring the following topics:

• costs of generic service interventions

• health service utilisation in slums

• payment by results

• the results of cluster RCTs in general practice

• revisiting the (in)famous Milgram experiment

• whether divorce is an effect of the environment or genetics

• the health implications of donating a kidney

• the reasons for food deserts

• education to improve quality of care in rural India.

GCRF funds have been made available to all our research boards and panels to support proposals that qualify under Official Development Assistance (ODA). Proposals must be led by researchers based at a UK higher education institution or at an eligible independent research institution. In addition, we support research areas that can benefit from developing/establishing collaborative networks with LMIC-based partners through targeted GCRF pump-priming awards.

Our Engage 2018 call for contributions is now open for applications! This year our conference will be held in Edinburgh on 29th and 30th November. From workshops to story-telling; panels to posters, we're looking forward to receiving your expressions of interest to participate in the event.

The call for the 2018/19 Research Development Fund (Strategic Awards) is now open, with a deadline for applications of Thursday 7th June 2018 to warwickRDF@warwick.ac.uk

The purpose of the Strategic Awards is to increase the University's capacity and capability to undertake world-class, innovative and exciting research by providing pump-priming funds. Projects should ideally be of an inter- or multi-disciplinary nature and must show clearly that they will lead directly to future bids for external funding.

This month we're delighted to let you know that the second issue of Research for All is now available to read.
