We are looking for three project proposals that will be presented to a panel and audience in the UK-TReN/HaemSTAR session at BSH, Sunday 28th April 2024. We ask candidates to submit a short abstract (max 300 words) detailing the rationale, brief methods, aims, and objectives of a clinical research project that can be delivered through the UK-TReN and HaemSTAR research networks.
The project should focus on topics in haemostasis and thrombosis and can be observational, interventional, prospective, or retrospective. You do not have to have done any project planning thus far, this is simply a creative exercise. The presentation and Q&A will be supportive with the intention of the winning project being taken forward by the winner with UK-TReN/HaemSTAR support to apply for funding and deliver the project.
Please submit your abstract by Monday 4th March 2024 to [email protected]. Please include your name, current role, and place of work.
The 2023 annual meeting of the British Society for Haemostasis and Thrombosis (BSHT) was held in Birmingham, United Kingdom. The theme of this year’s meeting was novel therapeutics and emerging technology.
The British Heart Foundation has given substantial funds over the years to support research into thrombosis and haemostasis. This report summarises some of the achievements and highlights over more than 60 years of BHF funding in the area of research. Many more research projects have been funded that are not listed here, but it gives examples of some of the work supported.
The BSHT are very grateful to the BHF for their continued efforts to support this important field.
You can read the report on the BHF website, including an overview of key discoveries in the field.
