To ensure the quality and accuracy of the information published on this blog, we source our data directly from the College\u2019s strategic reporting dashboards, relating to FoM. This means that, typically, we only include awards on this list which have been set up on the College\u2019s grants management system, in accordance with the Joint Research Office\u2019s policies and processes. As a result, there may be a delay in promoting some awards.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
