Pre-clinical translational models hub

The Medical Research Council offers funding to create a UK Hub for developing pre-clinical human cell models. You must build on existing equipment and expertise in human cell model development. The funding will help establish a central hub that advances medical research using human tissue models instead of animal testing. You need to be based at a UK research organisation that can receive MRC funding. This includes universities and research institutes. The funding amount is not specified. There is no set deadline as applications appear to be accepted on a rolling basis.

This funding is for established UK research organisations like universities and research institutes. You need existing equipment and expertise in developing human cell models for medical research. Individual researchers or small businesses cannot apply directly.
