  MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership: Functional Characterization of a Truncation Mutation Associated with Intellectual Disability
University of Leeds MRC DiMeN Doctoral Training Partnership
  Dr S Clapcote, Prof C Inglehearn, Dr M Ali
Application Deadline: 21 January 2019

  Pacing and performance in sports, rehabilitation, exercise and health (RDF19/HLS/SER/HETTINGA)
Northumbria University Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
  Dr F Hettinga
Application Deadline: 25 January 2019
Recent research explored how athletes and exercisers alike regulate their exercise intensity. However, most studies and theories focused on (elite) athletes alone, and a gap of knowledge exists in our understanding of pacing and fatigue in special populations.

  Genetic contributions to neurodevelopmental disorders
Oxford Brookes University Faculty of Health and Life Sciences
  Dr D Newbury, Prof I Bermudez
Application Deadline: 3 January 2019
