Apply for funding to investigate the causes, progression and treatment of human disease.
Your project should be based round a clearly articulated gap in understanding of human pathophysiology and have a clear path to clinical impact.
Successful projects will produce new mechanistic insights, including those that may:
- identify opportunities to modify disease pathways
- enable the future development of novel therapeutic or diagnostic approaches
Eligibility: To be eligible to apply for this opportunity you must:
- be employed at a UKRI eligible research institution
- show that you will direct the project and be actively engaged in the work
You can include international applicants as project co-leads if they provide expertise not available in the UK and make a major intellectual contribution to the design or conduct of the project.
Level of funding: The total fund amount is £10,000,000. There is no limit to the funding you can apply for. Applicants typically apply for £1 million or more. You should justify the resources needed in the context of the proposed work. 80% of the full economic cost and 1000% of permitted exceptions will be funded.
