Call for proposals: Nanotechnology Grand Challenges (Healthcare)

This call invites proposals for large-scale, integrated projects to exploit nanotechnology in the healthcare domain. Specifically we are seeking proposals that address the development of:

• Nanotechnologies for the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents;
• Nanotechnologies for healthcare diagnostics.

This call is a major element of the Cross Council programme Nanoscience through Engineering to Application, where we are seeking to support the application of nanotechnology to healthcare through projects incorporating significant novelty in engineering or physical sciences integrated with relevant biological and medical elements.

Closing date for proposals: 4pm on 5 August 2008
