Full economic costing explained, linking up with Russia, rare-disease charity looks for new blood, British Heart Foundation

This week, Adam Golberg tells you everything you ever wanted to know about full economic costing but were afraid to ask. We also learn about a call to connect UK-based biomedical and physical scientists with their Russian peers, and we provide profiles of schemes from the British Heart Foundation and Action for A-T, a medical charity clamouring for bids from outside the small field of ataxia telangiectasia researchers.
