Call summary

Apply for funding to spend time in a different research or user environment to build new connections within health technologies. Novel Engineering and Physical Sciences (EPS) research contributing to the delivery of the Health Technologies Strategy must comprise a proportion of the placement. The principal aim of this scheme is to provide researchers with an opportunity to spend time in a different research or user environment to better understand unmet health needs, how engineering and physical sciences research can contribute to developing new health technologies approaches and solutions, and how this research can be translated. This scheme also aims to address a ‘supporting knowledge and skills in health technologies’ strategic enabler described in the 2023 EPSRC Health Technologies strategy. This strategy sets out a mission to support and attract people from a diverse population to build capacity for future skills requirements across all three health technologies challenges.
