Guidance to applicants
The MRC applicant’s handbook provides detailed advice on how to apply for funding from the MRC.
All proposals anticipating an MRC expenditure greater than £3 million should be discussed with the relevant programme manager at Head Office.
Applicants planning to undertake a genome-wide association study are directed to MRC's GWAS guidance; applicants planning to undertake next generation sequencing studies are directed to MRC's guidance on accessing HTS hubs. Those planning to request support for establishment, maintenance or use of cohort resources should consider the MRC cohort resources guidance.
