Changing policy and practice
Who can apply: For researchers whose discoveries can inform healthcare policy, treatments, and public behaviour.
Medical Research Foundation supports UK-based medical research with a clear emphasis on overlooked, underfunded, or neglected health conditions. It primarily funds individual researchers and trainees through studentships, fellowships, and research grants, while also backing dissemination and collaboration activities that help move findings into the wider scientific community. The foundation appears especially oriented toward advancing promising early-stage research and building researcher capacity in areas that may struggle to attract mainstream funding.
Makes targeted grant awards across several investigator-centered programs, including studentships, fellowships, research grants, travel bursaries, and dissemination awards. Funding is likely competitive and program-based rather than open-ended, with grants focused on UK researchers and research projects that fit its underfunded-disease mission.
Review the specific program route that matches your stage of research career or project needs, and emphasize how your work addresses an underfunded or overlooked health condition. Applicants should be UK-based or working in the UK, and proposals should clearly explain the research impact, relevance to the foundation’s mission, and any dissemination or collaboration benefits.
