Program Description
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. The Foundation is 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.
