The Business Engagement Team is pleased to announce that we have been awarded £237,000 from MRC to deliver Phase 4 of the MRC Proximity to Discovery (P2D) Industry Engagement Fund, running from 1 May 2018 to 31 August 2019. Call for proposals: Opens 1 May 2018, deadline of 30 June 2018 The fund aims to overcome the bottleneck to the establishment of new collaborations by supporting early interactions and knowledge exchange between industry and academic researchers. Successful proposals will: • Enhance academic understanding of industry or vice versa in order to foster biomedical research collaborations • Showcase biomedical research to highlight the opportunities they provide for potential industry partners • Allow an exchange of skills or knowledge which will enable new collaborative projects to develop

Those interested to apply are encouraged to attend this event to learn more about the funding schemes and receive guidance for developing proposals. You will hear case studies of previously funded projects and information on complementary funding schemes in the translational research pathway. There will be opportunity for networking and getting advice on your P2D proposal ideas from P2D panel members.
