Research Newsletter - Issue 88: Funding Opportunities
Please click on the headings below for further information regarding each opportunity:
The Health Research Board Summer Student Scholarships support undergraduate students in health or social care-related disciplines to complete short research projects during the summer. The purpose of the scholarship scheme is to encourage an interest in research and give students an opportunity to become familiar with research techniques.
There have been a number of changes to the scheme including an increased stipend of €400/week and randomised funding of eligible applications.
These awards are an excellent opportunity for students to develop their careers and research skills and we would strongly encourage anyone working in Health or Social Care-related areas to consider them.
Please see the HRB website for further information and details regarding how to apply.
Deadline for applications: 14th December 2023

Science Foundation Ireland and the Irish Research Council have announced that the 2024 SFI-IRC Pathway programme will launch on 5th December 2023.
The SFI-IRC Pathway Programme is targeted towards talented post-doctoral researchers across all research disciplines who are poised to transition to an independent research career. The key goal of this joint funding programme is to support excellent researchers who have held a PhD for at least two years to develop their track record and establish themselves as independent investigators. The structure of the programme, including eligibility criteria and information required for the application, will be the same as the 2022 call. As was the case previously, women candidates are strongly encouraged to apply.
The maximum budget request for the 2024 call has been increased to €495,000 in direct costs over a four-year term.
Potential applicants to the SFI-IRC Pathway Programme 2024 call and DCU-based academic mentors should first seek pre-approval from their intended host institution.
Deadline for nomination of candidates: 20th February 2024 at 1:00pm
