The MRC Impact Acceleration Award supports a focused, high-risk development step that can generate key evidence and reduce risk around a new medicine, medical device, diagnostic or other medical product. Awards range from £50,000 to £300,000.

This is a specialist research funding opportunity. Applicants must be based at a research organisation that is eligible for Medical Research Council funding, so organisations should check the eligibility requirements carefully before applying.
