Boards

After submission, proposals will be assessed to check that they fall within the PHR programme's remit. The importance of those applications that are within remit will be assessed by the Programme Advisory Board.

Those outline proposals showing the most promise will be carried forward to full applications. External expert reviewers will advise the Research Funding Board on full applications.

The Programme Advisory Board meet in March, July and November 2010 to discuss outline research proposals, research suggestions and briefs. View a list of current Programme Advisory Board members.
