In line with its strategic objectives, The Health Research Board now invites applications for its 2011 Health Research Awards. This scheme aims to fund researchers and research teams to conduct internationally competitive and innovative research that will create new knowledge and evidence of benefit to health through investment in patient-oriented research, population health sciences research and health services research.

This scheme provides funding for clearly defined research projects in areas of patient-oriented research, health services research and population health sciences research up to a maximum award value of €300,000 for projects up to 36 months.
In very exceptional cases only, where an application involves an evaluation of a complex intervention (as defined by the MRC Guidance for Evaluation for Complex Interventions, see Appendix III of Guidance Notes) applicants, may request additional costs (up to a maximum award value of €500,000) over a longer duration (of up to a maximum period of 60 months).
