College of Medicine and Health interdisciplinary Seed Awards (CiSA)
We wish to again thank our industry partners Boston Scientific, GSK, Laya Healthcare, and Pfizer for enabling us to run this seed funding programme, and our colleagues in UCC Alumni and Development for their support.
CiSA seed funding provides an opportunity for new research collaborations between CoMH staff in the member Schools (Clinical Therapies, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing and Midwifery, Pharmacy and Public Health) and all healthcare aligned staff in affiliated clinical institutions. In particular, CiSA facilitates the development of clinical and non-clinical researcher collaborations to develop new or substantially new research areas, and to foster them to a point where a more extensive grant application can be made.
To date, we have awarded approximately €125,000 to 13 teams.
