ITT Dublin has been awarded €9.2M in funding under Cycle 4 of the Program for Research for Third Level Institutes
Release Date: Tuesday 07 Aug 2007
We are delighted to announce that the Institute has been awarded substantial funding, in excess of €9.2M, under cycle 4 of PRTLI announced by the Minister for Education on Friday 3rd August.
The successful proposal is for the development of a Centre of Applied Science for Health, in collaboration with Tallaght Hospital, DCU National Institute for Cellular Biotechnology, and NUI Maynooth.
The funding provides for both capital development on the campus here, and also for recurrent funds for ourselves and the partner institutions.
This success is a significant step in affirming the standard and quality of research in the Institute on a national stage, and provides a major opportunity for the future development and growth of research.
More details will be announced as it becomes available, in the meantime more information can be found at the HEA website, www.hea.ie . Congratulations to all of those who contributed to the development of the proposal, a process that goes back over a year at this stage. In particular the team of Tim McCormack, Eithne Dempsey, Siobhan McClean and Pat O’Donnell deserve great credit for the success, having successfully directed and navigated the proposal through the various stages of the submission and review processes of PRTLI.
The proposal would not have been successful today were it not for the solid foundation and track record established by collaborative projects under previous cycles of PRTLI and other funding programmes involving the wider research community at the Institute.
Congratulations again
