Interdisciplinary Funding for Ageing Research Workshop


Tuesday 26 November, 2024 (LSE Campus)

The CELLO network, the LSE Health Inequalities Lab and LSE Health ran this one-day event on interdisciplinary funding for ageing research.

It was aimed at early-career researchers interested in applying for funding in the area of ageing research with an interdisciplinary perspective. In the morning, representatives from major funders (NIHR, BBSRC, ESRC and MRC) gave an overview of their funding opportunities as well as of what makes an interdisciplinary proposal successful. These presentations will be followed by a Q&A with the audience. In the afternoon, researchers who recently received funding for interdisciplinary research in this area will share their experience and tips for success
