The Early Detection Innovation Sandpit and Award will catalyse new multidisciplinary collaborations to drive forward novel test technologies or novel test combinations for primary care triage. This sandpit is in partnership with the Medical Research Council and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

To apply for this funding you must attend a sandpit workshop — an intensive and interactive 3-day event where you will have the opportunity to:

• Network and form new collaborations spanning diverse research areas and organisations
• Work in broad, multidisciplinary teams to generate new and innovative research ideas
• Pitch projects for seed funding to test the feasibility of your ideas
