CVN Research Grants

CVN Research Grants

The CVN Executive invites bids for the 2017-2019 awards round.

Up to £40,000 is available for the 2 year research award and £5,000 each for two pump priming small research awards.

The over-riding consideration for the research grants awards panel will be that the research project should be demonstrably of value to clinical virology laboratories, and applicants will be asked to explain how their research will benefit the CVN.

Applicants must be members of the CVN, or belong to laboratories/organisations that are CVN members.

Applications should be sent to the CVN secretariat ([email protected]) to arrive no later than midday Friday December 16 2016.

All applications will be reviewed by the research grants awards panel and the award decision will be made by midday Friday January 20 2017.
