<div class="" style="margin:0cm; font-size:11pt; font-family:Aptos,sans-serif"><span class="" style="font-size:12pt">The IAS Executive met last week to review the 23 PGR Cluster proposals that were submitted to select those that will be advertised for this
year’s studentship competition. The panel assessed how each proposal met the specified criteria in coming to its decisions. The standard of proposals was extremely high, and there was consensus that ten of the proposed clusters were ahead of the others in
meeting the criteria, which marked them out as the very best of an extremely strong field. I am delighted to tell you that your cluster, Tackling challenges of environmental and human health – A behavioural science approach, is one of these and will go forward
to be advertised.</span></div>

we require a plain language summary of the purpose and aims of the cluster which will be added to the Studentship webpages.
