UK Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine Centres

We wish to establish one or two Centres for Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine in Autumn 2013 and are seeking outline bids for awards to support them.

A total of £6 million will be available for this initiative, for a four-year funding period.

A Centre award will enable integrated multidisciplinary working of a critical mass of scientists, who can provide the range of skills needed to translate basic science into clinical utility for patients with cardiovascular disease.

Our awards will be made in the context of, and in addition to, the concurrent MRC-led UK Regenerative Medicine Platform (UKRMP) programme of funding.

Further details, including instructions on how to apply, are available here. The deadline for outline applications is 1 June 2012.

Research Excellence Awards (round 2)

Applications are invited for a second round of Research Excellence Awards (REAs) to commence in April 2014.

The initiative was first launched in 2006 to provide flexible funding to a few centres in order to enhance the capacity for UK cardiovascular research to tackle important basic or translational questions at a world-leading level.

The second round will provide awards of up to £6 million over five years.

Find out further details and how to apply for a Research Excellence Award. The deadline for applications is midday on 31 August 2012.
