Congratulations to Heidi Bateman who has received funding from the Helen Tonge award (School of Dental Sciences) to support attendance at 2 research methods training courses (Qualitative Interviewing and Qualitative Data Analysis), and the ASME Annual Scientific Meeting which will be held in July where she’ll be presenting ‘Delivering to ‘that list’: The challenges of working with Learning Outcomes.’

This funding will provide an opportunity to disseminate education research outputs on a national platform. It will also enable skill development in research methodology to permit extension of current research projects and enable future design and implementation.

The Helen Tonge Award is open to all School of Dental Sciences staff involved in research, teaching, or engagement activities.  It is designed to offer financial support to undertake short-term ‘projects’ and activities which support the development of the school’s ethos, and where no other sources of funding are available.  Applications must clearly link to one or more aspects of the Schools ethos statement. Watch out for calls for applications circulated around the School at regular intervals.
