This year, the AR&D Research Grant was dedicated to sustainability, a theme highlighted during the AR&D Symposium on May 23. The symposium focused on the importance of integrating sustainable practices into healthcare and research, emphasizing that sustainability is not just about recycling or reducing plastic waste, but about embedding these principles into the research process itself. This ensures that the innovations we develop today contribute to a healthier planet tomorrow.
The AR&D Sustainability Grant aims to support researchers who are working on practical solutions, implementing sustainable actions, or conducting groundbreaking research in the field of sustainability within healthcare. By encouraging the integration of sustainable practices into the research journey, the grant ensures that healthcare research remains innovative and environmentally responsible.
Congratulations to this year’s winners of the AR&D Sustainability Grant! We are excited to see the impactful work they are doing and look forward to supporting them as they continue their sustainable research journey.
