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. We are currently working with CMR on setting up the competition and have a provisional launch date of 12th February. To support this process, we require a plain language summary of the purpose and aims of the cluster which will be added to the Studentship webpages. This should be approx. 500 words and include the contact details of cluster leads and the two sample projects. Please send this to IAS@stir.ac.uk<mailto:IAS@stir.ac.uk> by Tuesday 30th January. For information, the Clusters that have been successful are noted below.
