To celebrate the launch of the Bournemouth University Institute of Medical Imaging and Visualisation, and the opening of the MRI Centre in the Bournemouth Gateway Building, we are pleased to launch an MRI pump-priming scheme to support innovative MRI research projects.

The aim of this scheme is to support projects that will lead to competitive external funding applications for MR imaging studies.  Applications will therefore be required to demonstrate a clear plan for progressing preliminary studies to grant applications and larger studies.

• All projects must have a Bournemouth University researcher as lead or co-lead applicant (see application form).
• Up to 4 awards of up to 20 hours’ scanning time will be available. The award will not cover any additional expenses related to scanning, or other aspects of the project.
• Projects must be deliverable within 12 months, including ethical approvals. Projects with ethical approvals already in place will be prioritised.
• There will be online information and project development sessions with members of the IMIV team at 3.30pm on Thursday 22^nd October and Thursday 5^th November. Please email imiv@bournemouth.ac.uk to register your interest and receive the login details. You can view the virtual presentation here.

To register your interest, and receive the application form, please email imiv@bournemouth.ac.uk. The deadline for applications is 13^th December 2020.
