A reminder of the prize package:

Monetary element (to put toward pilot research):

-          2 x £5,000

This can be used to support preliminary translational work. Funding can be used for consumables (small equipment items will be considered), travel as part of the research (not for conference attendance), outsourced work (i.e. non-UCL staff work) which can include funding time for the Clinical Partner to be part of the research.  The funding cannot be used for academic salaries, studentships, publication costs, training conference attendance and travel, overheads, or estates.

Non-monetary elements:

-          1:1 meeting/consultancy with UCL TRO to discuss specific training that will enable the smooth translation of research (e.g., IP, translational grant writing, conflict of interest)

-          Receive specified training from UCL TRO

-          Market access training from UCL Partners to support translational gap.
