Wellcome Future of Therapeutics

Deadline for applications: Sunday 28 May 2023 (extended).

Wellcome has awarded an Institutional Translation Partnership Award (iTPA) to the University of Cambridge. Funding of up to £20,000 is available for projects in the remit of the Future of Therapeutics which progress translational interdisciplinary work in the priority areas of Wellcome: Infectious Diseases, Climate and Health and Mental Health in addition to Smart Diagnostics and Healthy Ageing.

Funding can be used for projects including:

• Knowledge sharing, understanding translational challenges and proposing solutions
• Collation of pilot data to facilitate and enable preparation and submission of larger cross-disciplinary project grants
• Road mapping workshops run by for example the University of Cambridge Institute of Manufacturing Engage Team
• Scoping exercises by external consultants to understand the external landscape of a specific area to inform on future direction

Funding cannot be used to support lab work, studentships and salaries.

The Lead Applicant may be a University of Cambridge postdoctoral researcher (holding a contract for the duration of the funding) with a Principal Investigator at the University of Cambridge as a co-applicant. We strongly encourage cross-disciplinary applications. We anticipate that all projects should be completed within 6 months of the award of funding.

For more information please contact Caroline Reynolds to arrange to discuss your application.
