The Medical Research Foundation is an independent charitable foundation, formed by the Medical Research Council. Our vision is to advance medical research, improve human health and change people's lives. We independently fund and support promising research in areas of health where there is a high unmet need and low research investment, and we focus our efforts on supporting tomorrow’s research leaders by funding their cutting-edge research today.

Our Research Strategy sets out our approach to research funding and our funding priorities.

The Medical Research Foundation's Grants Management System enables researchers to apply for funding and manage their grants online. Read about our application process and eligibility criteria on our funding calls webpage .
