The Wellcome Trust is launching its first Investigator Awards for research in medical history and humanities and biomedical ethics. Investigator Awards provide 5-7 years of funding to those already in an academic post. There are likely to be Investigator Awards both for researchers early on in their postdoctoral career and those who are more established. The first deadline for this new scheme will be in autumn 2011.
To help potential applicants for the new medical history and humanities and biomedical ethics Investigator Awards, the Wellcome Trust will be giving a presentation in Edinburgh at 10am on 16th May 2011 in Lecture theatre, 175 Old College, University of Edinburgh. This event is open to other Scottish universities and universities in North East England. For bookings: please contact Emma Gliori (emma.gliori@ed.ac.uk; 0131 651 4055)
