About the 'FMHS-FLS Research Forum:
Enhancing FMHS-FLS biomedical research collaborations is a high priority. To advance cross-faculty links, a regular fortnightly series of informal topic-based cross-faculty research meetings (started in January 2013) aims to target ‘hot’ translational biomedical topics that are very likely to benefit from strong cross-faculty research links.
- The format is flexible, but usually involves short presentations with discussion, followed by break-out sessions with refreshments.
- We wish to encourage and support cross-faculty collaborations leading to major new strategic funding and research outputs, and innovative research opportunities for clinical/non-clinical students.
- Everyone is welcome to attend.
- Full details of each individual topic(s), and the FMHS and FLS Lead PIs, will be circulated well in advance.
- Funding support: an FMHS Research Strategy Coordinator and an FLS Research Support Manager will be present at each Forum meeting, to provide targeted advice on internal and external funding.
- Suggestions for future topics are strongly encouraged, please contact Cay Kielty.
