Harrington Discovery Institute and its registered UK charity Fund for Cures UK, have issued a call for proposals for the 2020 Harrington UK Rare Disease Scholar Award, a new programme to advance promising research into novel treatments for rare diseases. In addition to grant funding, Harrington Discovery Institute provides guidance and oversight in all aspects of drug development, while taking no rights to intellectual property, which is retained by the scholar and their institution. The call for proposals is now open and this session will allow academics to find out more about the programme.
