The Philip Poole-Wilson Seed Corn Fund has a total of £200,000 per annum to provide individual seed corn grants of up to £20,000 per proposal. Work funded under the grant should be completed within a year.
The grants are designed to help healthcare professionals or university-based researchers with an interest in health or social care to develop their research ideas. Ideally, the main applicant should be at the start of a research career but more experienced researchers may apply if their team will include and significantly advance the development of new research talent
