The aim of the seed funding call is to create possibilities for post docs and PhD students to persue new research questions and identify opportunities for collaboration within the area epidemiology. Desired outcomes of the activities include:
• Increased awareness of capabilities and opportunities for collaboration across the SRA EpiHealth network
• Preparing a research plan and project application for larger national funding bodies; e.g. VR
• Expanding the use of epidemiological cohorts within the SRA EpiHealth for example, but not limited to the EpiHealth cohort
Evaluation process
