DESCRIPTION:'''Host:''' Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences\n\n'''About
  the event:''' \n\nDo you have an interesting translational research ide
 a? More than £1M funding available under the MRC Confidence in Concept s
 cheme.\n\nIn the past 2 years\, the University of Manchester has funded 
 30 translational research proposals of up to £100K each under the MRC Co
 nfidence in Concept (CiC) scheme. We are holding a launch event for CiC 
 2015 on 4th Feb to share our experience from the previous rounds of the 
 programme and provide guidance to potential applicants on how to prepare
  a competitive CiC proposal.\n\nThe launch event will include an overvie
 w of the scheme from an MRC representative\, an industry perspective on 
 the programme\, a series of brief presentations about previously-funded 
 projects and details about the process for applications this year. The m
 eeting will end with a drinks reception giving an opportunity for networ
 king and getting advice on your CiC proposal ideas from panel members\, 
 Research Deanery\, UMIP and business engagement.\n\n'''Accelerate your p
 roject idea'''\n\nThe University of Manchester has been awarded funding 
 in the third round of the MRC Confidence in Concept (CiC) scheme. The fu
 nds are intended to accelerate the transition from discovery research to
  translational development by supporting preliminary work or feasibility
  studies to establish the viability of an approach\, before seeking more
  substantive funding (e.g. from MRC DPFS).\n\n'''Further information:'''
