Description
The Medical Research Council (MRC), part of UK Research and Innovation, funds ambitious research into the causes and mechanisms of human disease. Projects should generate insights that could accelerate diagnosis, advance treatment or prevent illness. Grants can support focused studies, longer-term work on interrelated questions, or proof-of-principle research testing a hypothesis or a new direction.
MRC welcomes team science, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary work, and research with a global perspective and potential to improve global health. Projects may involve multiple research groups or organisations. Proposals should demonstrate the team’s ability to deliver the work and embed support for people and teams in the research design.
