The TCD-MED Research Seed Awards Programme supports new and innovative research. One of the programme’s primary aims is to provide early to mid-career researchers with an opportunity to develop their own research ideas as an independent investigator on a pilot grant. This opportunity, in turn, enhances awardees’ potential to compete for large-scale external awards from sources such as the European Commission, Wellcome Trust, Science Foundation Ireland, the Irish Research Council and Health Research Board, among others.
Title of Carlos' Research Project: Harnessing the new Health Regions for improved health system performance and population health outcomes: Evidence to inform the policy process.
Speaking about his award, Carlos said: “This TCD-MED Research Seed Award allows me to build a research programme aimed at driving significant improvements in health outcomes and equitable provision of services through the new Health Regions.”
