This call, alongside the Hestia Research Grants is an important step towards recognising and disseminating the work carried out by healthcare professionals in the field of health and social care and mental health. In this sector, it is difficult to get the necessary funding and support to carry out research. As such, the Hestia Chair wants to offer support to make this possible.
The deadline for application was 30 April 2019.
