Investigator Led Projects (ILP): launching August 2021
The HRB will embark on a new strategy during 2021. It is still under consultation, but from a funding perspective we know it will build on existing successes as well as introducing new opportunities for the future. Given the ten-year period for the new strategy, the HRB wants to ensure that we align and integrate key funding schemes like the Investigator-Led Projects (ILP) with the new strategy so they meet with future goals. To achieve this the next call for the ILP scheme will launch in August 2021 so that any necessary changes to align it with the strategy can be made.
