MRC are opening up a £2,000,000 fund on 6th May for improving the methods used by others in biomedical and health research.
Deadline: 15th June 2022
The full economic cost of your project can be up to £625,000. MRC and NIHR will fund 80% of the full economic cost.
This is an ongoing scheme. Application rounds open twice per year, closing in June and November
More details on the funding opportunity here.
Your local branch of the NIHR RDS (Research Design Service) is based within the BU Clinical Research Unit (BUCRU)
We can help with your application. We advise on all aspects of developing an application and can review application drafts as well as put them to a mock funding panel (run by RDS South West) known as Project Review Committee, which is a fantastic opportunity for researchers to obtain a critical review of a proposed grant application before this is sent to a funding body.
Contact us as early as possible to benefit fully from the advice
Feel free to call us on 01202 961939 or send us an email.
