Join a lunchtime webinar to find out more about the UKRI MRC's Clinical Academic Research Partnerships (CARP) funding scheme

What is the UKRI MRC CARP scheme?

• The UKRI MRC runs a scheme for registered healthcare professionals to apply for funded time to form a collaborative research partnership with established leading biomedical and applied health researchers.
• You can apply for 20-50% of salary for 1-3 years, plus project costs.
• 2023 applications open in August and close in November.

Can I apply?

Full details are online, but essentially, the scheme is aimed at registered healthcare professionals who:

• have a PhD, MD or equivalent
• are working at a senior level
• have limited or no research time funded.

Could I be a research partner?

• Applicants must have at least one research partner.
• If you have a proven track record of securing funding and delivering high-quality research, you could be a co-applicant.

The Wales Cancer Research Centre has organised a lunchtime webinar where potential applicants and research partners can hear from:

• Monica Busse, Director of Health and Care Research Wales Faculty, about how personal awards could support your career
• Samantha Moore, UKRI MRC scheme representative, about eligibility and what the panel will be looking for.
