Dear Till

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.

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.
