Description
This funding opportunity enables researchers with current Medical Research Council (MRC) funding to access the Our Future Health dataset—a large, diverse, UK-based health data resource. The aim is to support innovative research within the MRC remit focused on improving human health, particularly in the prediction, detection, and treatment of major diseases. The scheme covers data access fees (not computational costs) and encourages studies that utilize this extensive resource to inform future research directions and improve disease prevention and treatment strategies.
