Academic Health Sciences Awards

15 Feb 2024

CoMH is pleased to launch the Academic Health Sciences seed funding awards (AHS Awards) to support new collaborations amongst the Academic Health Sciences System partners.

An ambition of the 2023-2028 UCC Strategy ‘Securing our Future’ is to “align the south/southwest hospitals research framework with that of the University to support the development of an Academic Health Sciences System” (Goal 1 Research & innovation | Strategic approach 1.5.v).  UCC Academic Health Sciences was established in 2022 and the continued development of an Academic Health Sciences System is a key priority for the College of Medicine and Health.  

Funding is available through the continued support of our corporate partners Pfizer, Boston Scientific, Laya Healthcare and GSK. The AHS awards will support new research collaborations to develop larger grant applications to national and international calls to support the on-going development of the work and to maximise impact.  

Projects should align to the UCC 2023-2028 Strategic Plan Goal One: Research and Innovation by seeking to align to one or more of the UCC Futures areas.

For full details on the AHS Awards, including the guidelines, application form and details on how to apply, please see the Research & Innovation section of the College of Medicine and Health Website.

Deadline: 5pm on the 10th May 2024
