Is there any financial assistance for UK applicants?
The MRC runs an IMI networking costs scheme to help with the costs incurred in building a consortium and preparing a proposal. Applications for networking costs should be led by a UK researcher based in the academic sector. Please note that all payments will be made via the lead UK researcher’s institution.
Costs can be requested for all UK-based organisations within your consortium that would be eligible for European Commission funding from IMI.
Further details are available on the application form.
