Rosetrees Trust

Interdisciplinary Award

Scope
The Rosetrees Trust has invited UCL to submit one application to its 2023 Interdisciplinary Award call. An internal selection process is being coordinated by the Research Coordination Office for Life and Medical Sciences.
The Award aims to encourage collaboration between clinicians and non-clinical scientists who have expertise in molecular biology, computing, engineering and mathematics. The hope is that the merging of skills and experience in these areas will lead to innovative research that will study the complex interactions between the human host and infectious agents, ranging from the microbiome to pathogens including viruses, bacteria and fungi.
Particular areas of interest are: 
1)    How do these interactions result in harmful, acute and chronic effects on organs such as the skin, the gut and the brain?
2)    How do these interactions affect susceptibility or resistance to infection, and the evolution of anti-microbial resistance?

Proposals must include a clear translational strategy to show how the novel research could benefit patients within 5-10 years.

Details

  • Funding: £300,000 over 3 years
  • Number of UCL applications allowed: 1
  • UCL deadline: 2 March 2023

For further information about this call, please visit the Rosetrees Trust website. UCL applicants are asked to complete an internal Expression of Interest (EOI) following the guidelines below.
If you have any questions regarding this call, please contact Anwen Howells (a.howells@ucl.ac.uk).
