Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The University of Cambridge was awarded £617K towards refurbishment of the Herschel Smith building for Clinical Research in Cognitive Neuroscience, to provide a federated facility for translational cognitive neuroscience in the School of Clinical Medicine. The refurbishment will comprise: a clinical research facility (3 examination rooms, specialist testing facilities), office space for 52 people, two meeting rooms, ancillary facilities, and upgraded general infrastructure. The building will be used by cognate research groups representing the 4 major stakeholders in the project: the University Departments of Clinical Neurosciences and Psychiatry, the MRC Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit (CBU), and the MRC/Wellcome Trust Behavioural & Clinical Neurosciences Institute (BCNI)
