HTMR Network project funding and workshop grants

The 2017 call for HTMR Network Funding has now closed.

To Improve Health by Improving Trials, we support various capacity building and funding initiatives. The Network provides small project funding through collaborative grants to support research, training and workshops. Applicants are encouraged to discuss project ideas with their Hub Director. Projects must illustrate a clear collaboration between at least two Hubs. Full details of terms and conditions, and guidance for completing the application form can be found below.

We would be particularly interested in applications which fall within or link with the following areas:

  • Health Informatics

However we will also consider applications that fall outside these areas.
