Description
Medical Research UK offers Research and Career Development Awards to UK-based mid-career researchers holding an active Medical Research Council (MRC) or Medical Research UK grant. The awards provide additional training and travel support for activities clearly linked to the research area of the original grant.
Skills Training and Development Awards help researchers develop skills, undertake training, build collaborations, and share expertise with researchers outside their own institutes. Conference Attendance Awards support in-person or virtual participation to develop networks, establish collaborations, and present and discuss findings with peers before publication in scientific journals. Both are intended as one-off support for the grant holder’s research and career development.
