To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Science on Screen, a partnership between CÚRAM Research Centre for Medical Devices and Ardán, its documentary commission has been increased to €40,000.
Ardán and CÚRAM are teaming up with Diabetes Ireland and the Health Research Board’s (HRB ) Diabetes Collaborative Clinical Trial Network (DCCTN ) to make a documentary about clinical trials, for the 10th Science on Screen documentary.
The HRB and DCCTN have undertaken trials in the areas of gestational diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Filmmakers can hear from participants in these trials – along with scientists and clinicians – at an information session this Saturday, January 18, in Galway city. The commission application deadline is February 28.
A filmmaking team will receive funding of €40,000 to make a 25-minute documentary to explain the role of Public Patient Involvement (PPI ) in clinical trials, and ultimately to engage more people in clinical trials. Creative and ambitious responses to this call are encouraged with this information day as the jump-off point.
“As our award-winning Science on Screen programme with Ardán enters its 10th year, we are delighted to be partnering with Diabetes Collaborative Clinical Trial Network,” says Professor Abhay Pandit, CÚRAM Director.
“Our continued mission at Ardán is to support creative talent development and empower creatives in the screen industry. What better way to develop and refine your skills as a documentary maker than showcasing the important ongoing work of medical researchers and highlighting lived patient stories,” added Ardán chief executive, Alan Duggan.
