In scope: research within MRC remit to improve human health, from basic studies with relevance to mechanisms of disease to translational and developmental clinical research. MRC science areas include infections and immunity; molecular and cellular medicine; population and systems medicine; neurosciences and mental health; translation; global health; methodology; and public health.

Normally, fellowships would not be a suitable route to establish longitudinal population studies. Until further notice, only applications for core infrastructure support for existing longitudinal population studies with previous MRC support will be accepted.
