RSS FeedsWe have compiled a number of success stories from the Health area of FP7 that outline the positive outcome of participating in EU research. Irish researchers have enjoyed considerable success in FP7 health. To date more than €47 million has been secured and in excess of 15 Irish coordinated proposals have been funded.
Here are some examples below.
A project to establish a sustainable network to support collaboration in child health research (RICHE) is being led by Professor Anthony Staines of DCU. This project involves 24 partners from across Europe, and is worth €1.5 m.
Professor Alice Stanton from RCSI is the Irish lead in the UMPIRE project, worth €3m, which will test whether a polypill could reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes and other cardiovascular problems across the world. Ireland is participating with partners from Europe and India.
In the following pages we profile in detail four HRB-funded researchers who have been successful in FP7, one of whom is very experienced in FP7; Professor William Gallagher and the other three are first time coordinators, Professor Geraldine Boylan, Professor Anne MacFarlane and Professor Brian Lawlor.
