Two Chiefs Quit Cork Based Infant Research Centre
Their departure follows a decision by Science Foundation Ireland not to award funding to the research centre
British Biochemist Douglas Kell and Ruth Barrington both resigned from the board of Governors of UCC's Infant Research centre in recent weeks.
Professor Kell said he quit in protest at an utter lack of transparency around the SFI funding process and at UCC's failure to appeal the SFI decision.
The Irish Examiner reports that the SFI said the funding application involved €26 million and the decision not to award the funding was not about the work they had done but followed an assessment of their latest funding proposal.
