MRC: partnership grant: applicant-led

The Medical Research Council (MRC) Partnership Grant supports novel collaborative activities between teams of researchers, with interdisciplinarity encouraged where appropriate. The grant allows researchers to establish novel high-value collaborative activities or capabilities, add value to high-quality research activities supported by existing funding, or underpin future funding within MRC's remit and build capacity in areas of unmet need. Funding is available for partnerships lasting between 18 months and five years. The program supports team-science approaches and interdisciplinary partnerships that transform understanding of human health and disease, accelerate diagnosis, advance treatment, and prevent human illness. Collaborative activities can include networking and partnership activities, infrastructure support, platform activities such as specialist data and software platforms, training and career development, and capacity building in areas of unmet need.
