Biomedical research often requires collaborations between scientists with different skills so I'm always delighted to highlight grants that help foster collaboration.

This opportunity is intended to support new partnerships between diverse groups of researchers within the remit of Medical Research Council (MRC).

The grant will allow you to:

Establish new, high-value collaborative activities or capabilities
Add value to high-quality scientific programmes that are already supported by grants from MRC and other funders

Funding is available for between one and five years

An interesting opportunity.

Apply for funding for the application of artificial intelligence (AI), engineering biology, and quantum technologies in biomedical research and development.

You must be based at a UK research organisation eligible for MRC funding.

You can get funding through any grants from MRC responsive mode or translation funding opportunities. You should apply through the existing funding opportunity that is most relevant to your science area and career stage.

We will usually fund up to 80% of your project’s full economic cost.

This highlight notice will be open from 1 April 2024 to 31 March 2025. Applications submitted in this window will be considered for this highlight opportunity. For individual application closing dates refer to the relevant MRC funding opportunity.
