Alcohol Research UK have announced its 2014/15 studentship scheme and a new flagship initiative on linking harms caused by alcohol to drinking behaviours. The research charity offers a number of grants, and previously funded work can be accessed via the alcohol library.
For the new flagship scheme, a call for proposals has been made to investigate the link between specific harms caused
directly by a distinct pattern, level and duration of alcohol drinking
at key stages in the life-course. It is co-funded by the MRC and ESRC and aims to inform public health policy and the design of interventions.
Between £200,000 and £500,000 is available for each flagship project. Full information, including how applications may be made, can be found on the Medical Research Council's website.
Research Studentship Scheme
Universities are invited to apply for one of three jointly-funded
research studentships. These studentships will be awarded for studies
commencing in the academic year 2014/15 and offer £7,000 per year match
funding for three years, to enable a student to undertake research in
the alcohol field leading to a PhD.
Please see the prospectus for full details. The deadline for receipt of applications is 4th November 2013.
