Stem Cells Initiative Programme Co-ordinator

• Start date: 01 November 2005
• End date: 30 June 2009

The ESRC Social Science Stem Cell Initiative (SCI) was set up in the autumn of 2005 with the broad aim of supporting a range of activities during a three-year period, to the value of £1.7million, to build research capacity and raise awareness within the UK social science community, in regard to the emerging field of Stem Cell science. The ESRC has already invested in a number of research projects (n=6) in the area (see Research link on menu bar), as well as the cross-Council support for Career Development Fellowships. The Initiative also will link to capacity building that the Genomics Centres propose to undertake, both independently, and as a network, the latter in collaboration with the Genomics Forum
