One of its goals is to support high-quality research and postgraduate training that will contribute to economic competitiveness, the quality of life and the effectiveness of public services and policy.
Research is funded through open competitions and grants awarded on the basis of academic excellence.
To ensure that our work addresses the key long-term concerns of policymakers, businesses and other users of our research, nine priority research themes have been identified in consultation with these groups, as well as with the academic community. The theme of Lifecourse, Lifestyles and Health has a relevance for nurse researchers. Training fellowships to visit departments include a contribution to subsistence, which will not normally exceed 4,000.
