Funding Success for LJMU Research Students

08 July 2010

LJMU Research students, Chloe Taylor and Nia Lewis, have been awarded foundation research grants from the British Federation of Women Graduates.

Chloe has been awarded £4,000 to support the final year of her PhD programme on sources of variation in human haemodynamics. Nia will receive £1,600 during the writing-up period of her PhD programme on circadian variation in cerebrovascular function.

This funding adds to that previously secured for Chloe and Nia from various sources, including the University of Otago, the Institute of Health Research, GlaxoSmithKline and the Centre for Excellence in Teaching and Learning (CETL). Recently, both Chloe and Nia have also won prizes from the Faculty of Science and the Institute of Health Research for their work. Both students are supervised by Professor Greg Atkinson and Dr Helen Jones and work in the Chronobiology Research Group of the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise Sciences
