UKRI translation: MRC proof of concept: stage two

About this grant

This funding opportunity was previously titled ‘Developmental pathway funding scheme: stage two’. You must be invited to apply for stage two of this funding opportunity. Apply for funding to develop and test novel therapeutics, medical devices, diagnostics and other interventions across any stage of the developmental pathway, from prototype development, through pre-clinical refinement, to early-phase clinical studies (up to phase 2a). There is no funding limit but requested costs should be appropriate to the project. We usually fund 80% of a project’s full economic cost (FEC).
