EFSA aims to fund projects focusing on the development and application of
read-across methodologies for the hazard characterisation of chemicals. The
grant co‐financing rate will equal up to 50 per cent of the total eligible project
costs up to a maximum EFSA contribution of €500,000. EFSA intends to fund
two proposals.
(1)Making use of molecular approaches to identify and characterise microbial
foodborne pathogens, specifically using whole genome sequence (WGS)
analysis, to enhance the understanding, the traceability and spread of the
disease in humans that these bacteria populations may cause; (2)
Development and application of read across methodologies to the hazard
assessment of chemicals in the food safety area.
These support projects related to any aspect of the science and practice of
radiography. Grants are worth up to £5,000 for small projects and up to
£10,000 for large projects, though larger bids may be considered.
This supports therapeutic development in Parkinson’s disease along the entire

These enable outstanding researchers, at an early-stage of their career, to
pursue and establish new and interdisciplinary lines of research at a university
of their choice in Germany. Funding is worth between €800,000 and €1.5
million per professorship for an initial period of five years.
This highlight is applicable to responsive AHRC schemes.
This supports cross-disciplinary proposals addressing boundary-crossing

advance the development and application of non-animal technologies. The
competition is funded jointly by the TSB, NC3Rs, BBSRC, EPSRC and DSTL.
Building on the output of workshops held by the TSB and the NC3Rs earlier
this year, a key aim of the funding is to harness the commercial potential of
technologies in this area.
The TSB and the NC3Rs are holding networking events in Cardiff on January 22

pleased to announce that a Sustainable Aquaculture call will be published in
September for collaborative proposals to support aquaculture related
research, where aquaculture is the farming or cultivation of organisms such as
fin-fish, molluscs and crustaceans. BBSRC and NERC have each committed
£2.5M to this call for proposals.
The four objectives of the Sustainable Aquaculture call are to:
- Deliver bioscience and environmental science research projects that address
one, or more, of the seven priorities for aquaculture research.
- Build capacity by drawing in new researchers to the aquaculture sector (e.g.
epidemiology, immunology, gut health, remote sensing, human health, and
physical and ecosystem modellers) to work in collaboration with aquaculture
researchers.
- Expand the uptake and development of novel tools, methods, and
technologies
-Encourage multidisciplinary, systems science and cross council approaches
To support the pre-clinical development of new cardiovascular medicines and £250,000
technologies so that they are attractive for follow-on funding.
The grant will help to bridge the funding gap between promising innovations
and the clinic with the aim of accelerating advances in cardiovascular science
for patient benefit.
Two stage application process, first stage is a preliminary outline application
and successful applications will then be asked for full applications - there is no
deadline for the outline applications.

This call will open in mid-April. As in previous years we expect that, in addition
to the open route, the competition will feature steers in areas of strategic
priority, as identified by the ESRC Council. These steers will be announced
when the competition opens.
The upper threshold for any single award is £10 million (100 per cent fEC). It is
currently anticipated that the budget for the next round will be £22 million.
The ESRC Council expects to make around four awards.
Please note that a major bids process will be in place - further information to
follow.
In February 2014 the NIHR will issue a call for evaluative research for longNot specified
term conditions in children and young people. The research will aim to provide
the evidence base to improve the health outcomes for children and young
people that result from long-term conditions. The call is in support of the 2012
annual report of the Chief Medical Officer entitled “Our Children Deserve
Better: Prevention Pays”.
On 5 February 2014, the NIHR will be holding a workshop in central London.
The purpose of this workshop is to inform the research community about
research funding opportunities presented by the themed call. This document was generated by Research and Enterprise Development. For further information please contact Teresa Nurser (teresa.nurser@bristol.ac.uk) or visit our website; http://www.bris.ac.uk/red/

Within these pillars there are opportunities for individual researchers and
groups of researchers to apply for funding. The choice of pillar and underlying
programme depends on what a researcher is looking for funding for in terms
of the size of the planned project, whether it is basic or applied or whether
someone is interested in moving to Bristol from another country.
