A dedicated MRC Prize Committee was established in May 2021 to oversee MRC prizes, including the MRC Millennium Medal and the MRC Impact Prize competitions.
The committee is composed of 24 members from across:
- MRC boards, panels and overview groups
- MRC strategy board
- MRC council
- industry and external representation.
The committee provides direction and oversight of MRC prizes, reviews and scores nominations, and selects shortlisted and winning entries for the MRC Millennium Medal and MRC Impact Prize competitions.
