take the next step towards becoming an independent researcher
You must have:
the skills and experience to ‘transition to independence’
the support of a host research organisation eligible for Medical Research Council (MRC) funding
There is no limit to the funding you can apply for, but the typical full economic cost of a project is under £1 million. MRC will usually fund 80% of the full economic cost.
This funding usually lasts three years and covers up to 50% of your salary.
