BD & Alliance Management I Life Sciences I Stammering Advocacy

Super interesting to attend yesterday's symposium organised by UCL Health of the Public (part of UCL Faculty of Population Health Sciences), and hear the panel speak on Breaking Boundaries to Interdisciplinary Working. What struck me most were the introductions to:   --> DSIT/UKRI Metascience Unit for improving understanding into the funding ecosystem itself, and how it shapes research outputs/career outcomes.  -->Truly interdisciplinary grant schemes e.g. UKRI's Cross Research Council Responsive Mode scheme. -->Ways of reducing bias in peer-review, including the mind-blowing concept of random awarding of grants. --> Local government as a research partner, with the agency & means to conduct research for societal impact and enact decisions based on the evidence e.g. NIHR's HDRC initiative.   Great work UCL Health of the Public, and I look forward to future events.   #publichealth #populationhealth #interdisciplinarity #interdisciplinaryresearch #translationalresearch
