Who is this course for?

We encourage Early Career Researchers (e.g. post-docs, fellows and newly established lecturers) with an interest in delivering impact in healthcare research to sign up, but this course is also open to any researcher who has not previously had translational-type project funding independent of their career stage. This course is NOT suitable for PhD or MRes students. If you have not engaged in any previous translational activity, but are keen to do so, this is the course for you!

Course Delivery

This workshop has been arranged by the University of Birmingham Translational Research Team, together with a network of other Universities, each supported by a Wellcome Trust Institutional Translational Partnership Award (iTPA). This event is part of an ongoing effort to support researchers in translating ground-breaking discovery research findings into practical improvements in human health.

UCL participants will join the training sessions alongside researchers from the University of Birmingham, and everyone will be encouraged to ask questions and network with fellow attendees.
