MRC - Better methods, better research

Apply for funding to:

• improve the methods used by others in biomedical and health research

You must:

• have the skills and experience to ‘transition to independence’
• have the support of a host research organisation eligible for MRC funding

Your project can be up to £625,000 (100% full economic cost (FEC)). MRC and NIHR usually fund up to 80% of your project’s FEC.
