CVD and MD Research projects audit summary

Summary

Section A contains all the research projects. These are sub divided into project categories namely Public Health Research, Clinical Research, Laboratory Research, Combination across categories and Unclear categories. The data in this section consists of a tabulation of project titles, members of the research group, the organisation to which they are affiliated, the main funders, amount of funding, the stage the research project has reached and the category of the research conducted.

See Addendum A: table 1 and 2 for research categories and stages.

Projects that are highlighted yellow are projects where we have not received detailed information.

Section B contains the name of the principal investigator the project title and a brief summary of the project if one was provided.

Section C contains information on the principal investigators research environment. This document is arranged alphabetically in order of the principal investigators surname.

In total we received information from 34 researchers. Overall they have submitted 196 projects.
