About this grant

Apply to the MRC Impact Acceleration Award for single-step support in developing a new or repurposed medicine, medical device, diagnostic, or other medical product. Projects must target a high-risk development step backed by prior funding, generating critical data to de-risk onward progression or determine failure. The Impact Acceleration Award strategically bridges the smaller Impact Acceleration Account (IAA) and the larger Proof of Concept funding opportunity. You must be based at a Medical Research Council (MRC) eligible research organisation.
