The Medical Research Council (MRC) research grant can be used to support health research in any area of the MRC remit. It is intended to be flexible to meet the needs of your research.
You can apply for programme funding through our updated research grant opportunity.
Research grants are awarded through the MRC research grant applicant-led funding opportunity. Global health research applications are eligible under this opportunity.
Research grants are also awarded through targeted opportunities for:
- translational research
- specific priority areas of investment and support
