Family Carers Ireland partnered on all seven of these new and innovative research projects, which were funded through the Irish Research Council’s New Foundation Grants Scheme 2020.

The virtual conference brought together 60 delegates, including a diversity of carers and caring experiences, and professionals from a broad range of areas, including health, disability, research and policy, both from Ireland and overseas.
