Funding opportunity: MRC: new investigator research grant: applicant-led

Apply for funding to take the next step towards becoming an independent researcher.

Your research must be in the remit of the Medical Research Council (MRC).

You must have:

• the skills and experience to ‘transition to independence’
• the support of an eligible host research organisation

There is no limit to the funding you can apply for, but the typical full economic cost (FEC) of a project is under £1 million. MRC will usually fund 80% of the FEC.

This funding usually lasts three years and covers up to 50% of your salary.
