Dr Mairead O’Driscoll, Interim Chief Executive at the Health Research Board, is urging health researchers to look for new opportunities available in the new Health Work Programme.

‘The final three years of the Horizon 2020 programme will have a total budget of almost €30 billion, the largest funding opportunity in the programme to date. €2 billion of this will be accessible to health researchers via to the Health Demographic Change and Wellbeing Challenge’.

Contact Kay Duggan-Walls, e kdugganwalls@hrb.ie, National Contact Point at the HRB to help you look for the most appropriate calls for your research area.
