Boards, panels and groups
Funding decisions are made by four research boards, after the proposals they receive have been assessed by external reviewers. Each of the boards is responsible for one of the four major areas of medical science that together make up the MRC portfolio. They hold their own research budgets, and review and manage scientific activity within their specialist areas.
Overview groups ensure that the research boards and other funding committees develop coordinated initiatives and activities. Each group advises the Strategy Board on the allocation of funding and resources in their area. Their job is to review the MRC portfolio across the relevant research boards, identifying potential gaps and opportunities, consulting with the wider research community and relevant stakeholders and commissioning studies as needed.
