Funding opportunity

Funding opportunity: Funding to deliver an early life cohort feasibility study

Funding is available for a science and delivery leadership team with the skills and experience to design and deliver a new, innovative longitudinal cohort feasibility study focused on children born in the UK.

It is expected that the team will have strong expertise in survey design, delivery and methods, public engagement, and project management.

Collaborative bids from multiple partners are encouraged. This could include individuals from outside a university research organisation.

We also welcome trans-disciplinary bids with a strong social science component.
