What is Bristol INSPIRE?
Bristol INSPIRE is part of a national programme to increase medical, vet and dental student engagement in academic research. We are administered by the Academy of Medical Sciences and funded by the Wellcome Trust. Our local programme is partnered with GW4 universities Cardiff, Plymouth and Exeter.
