Funding: HRB-TMRN Study Within a Trial (SWAT) Award

To date, the HRB-TMRN has funded eight SWATs investing €110,000 in developing this initiative nationally. In 2020 the network will provide further funding for one SWAT award. This award is worth up to €25,000 (to include 25% institutional overheads of direct project costs), up to one year duration, and will provide for the implementation of a self-contained methodological research study in a planned or an existing randomised trial. This funding is available to research teams in University College Cork, NUI Galway, Trinity College Dublin and University College     Dublin.  There are no eligibility restrictions for the lead applicant (e.g. previous grant holder) and early stage career researchers are welcome to apply, provided that the trial Principal Investigator supports the application and appropriate mentoring arrangements are in place. The closing date for the application is March 6th 2020. Further details here.
