Summary
The Huo Family Foundation invites applications for special projects. These larger and longer-term research awards would allow researchers of all career stages, collaborating as a multi-disciplinary team with different expertise and skills, to take an integrated approach to tackle the more difficult questions in this domain. 

Proposals should be tackling key questions within the broad topic of the effects of usage of and exposure to digital technologies on brain development and function (including physiological responses), social behaviour and interactions, and mental health of children and young people.

Awarded research grants in this area can be held at colleges, universities and research institutes in the UK and in the US.

We are keen to support multi-disciplinary work. These teams may consist of several group leaders from one institution, or different institutions in the UK and the US. 

Eligibility 
PLEASE NOTE WE WILL CONSIDER ONLY ONE SPECIAL PROJECT PROPOSAL FROM EACH LEAD INSTITUTION. THE LEAD INSTITUTION IS THE COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OR RESEARCH INSTITUTE WHERE THE LEAD APPLICANT IS LOCATED.
