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 Confidence in Concept scheme is a key part of MRC’s translational research strategy and provides annual awards to institutions, to be used flexibly to support the earliest stages of multiple translational research projects. The award can be used by the institution to support a number of preliminary-stage translational projects. The projects supported should aim to provide sufficient preliminary data to establish the viability of an approach –– before seeking more substantive funding. It is intended to accelerate the transition from discovery research to translational development projects by supporting preliminary work or feasibility studies to establish the viability of an approach.

| Impact | Future plans involve investigating and developing new approaches for home-based assessment/diagnostics of musculoskeletal disorders. The research during the project has also contributed to technology that is currently being applied to an international US/UK Long Covid study, aimed at assessing the impact of the disease on people still suffering after- effects in walking, balance and cognition, in some cases many months after first testing positive. |

Participants also gave their views about how it may or may not be helpful for the social rehabilitation of prisoners. The event led to a spin-off project in prisons and a proposal for a feasibility study using the VE system to train prison mentors. |
