Current funding calls

Description
Auto Generated Title Here you can find new grant funding calls from various funders. Links on the right will take you directly to other calls with specific key funders. Keep up-to-date with COVID-19 funding calls and resources The Health Research Authority is publishing details about all approved COVID-19 research studies, within their dedicated COVID-19 section. More information New research priorities identified for aerosol generating procedures related to COVID-19 New funding opportunities are likely to result from the identification of a new set of research priorities relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. Details will be published here as they are made available. Five new research priorities have been identified through the NIHR expert review process, with the purpose of providing evidence to understand and assess aerosol generation and the infective risk associated with individual AGPs as well as broader questions about airborne transmission of COVID-19 in healthcare settings. Understanding the fundamental aerobiology Including virus distribution and viability in airborne particles. Risk factors for transmissibility Understanding and quantifying the risk of transmissibility across multiple domains (including patient, procedure, environment, pathogen and healthcare professional factors) in order to generate a clinically applicable risk model. Mitigating precautions and their components Identifying which mitigating precautions are important and how they work: to include clinical efficacy testing of PPE, environmental measures (e.g. ventilation, filtration), and other barrier devices. Transmission of COVID-19 and other pathogens Investigating the contribution of inhalation versus inoculation for infection risk from AGPs and other healthcare interventions. Understanding infective risk perception, behaviours and acceptability of mitigation strategies This will include diverse groups of healthcare workers, patients and the public.
