Under the programme grant scheme you may request support for a period of five years, which can include:
- a portion of the salaries of the project lead and co-leads
- additional posts (research and technical)
- consumables
- equipment
- travel costs
- data preservation, data sharing and dissemination costs
Following standard practice, MRC will fund 80% of the full economic cost of your research to your institution.
Your application must show 100% of the full economic cost throughout. Please note guidance on funding for equipment in section 3.2.2.2 of the MRC guidance for applicants.
