About the programme
Supports academically led translational projects addressing one high-risk development step, backed by prior funding, for medicines, vaccines, biologics, advanced therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics and digital health tools. Projects must focus on one goal rather than multiple work packages. Demand management applies, and international researchers may only apply as project co-leads.
Eligibility
- Must be based at a research organisation eligible for MRC funding
- Must direct the project and be actively engaged in the work
- Can only submit one application as project lead
- International research organisation staff cannot apply as project lead (some named units excepted)
- Sign in to check these against your background.
How to apply
- Apply via the UKRI Funding Service (Start application)
Applications are submitted on Medical Research Council (MRC), UK Research and Innovation’s own site. Open Doors helps you prepare; it is not the official application portal.
