MRC: research grant: applicant-led

The Medical Research Council (MRC) offers applicant-led research grants to support research within MRC remit, providing flexible support for discovery and early translational research. The funding is designed to transform understanding of human health and disease, accelerate diagnosis, advance treatment and prevent human illness. This opportunity supports focused research that is flexible in duration and scale, longer-term ambitious research addressing interrelated questions, and proof of principle work to test key hypotheses or demonstrate feasibility for new research avenues. The grants support team-science approaches and interdisciplinary research across MRC's research areas including infections and immunity, molecular and cellular medicine, neurosciences and mental health, and population and systems medicine.
