King’s MRC Public Partnership Programme Information Session
January 14 @ 1:30 PM - 2:30 PM
New King’s/MRC Public Partnership Fund: Supporting MRC applicants to involve public contributors at pre-application stage.
We are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of a new funding scheme to support early career researchers and those looking to transition to research independence to better involve public partners in the development of their MRC grant applications.
As outlined in the MRC’s Public Partnership Strategy, the MRC is placing a greater emphasis on the meaningful involvement of public partners in the shaping of the research it funds. Such partnerships with patients and/or communities during grant development has been shown to increase the relevance of research proposals and their potential for impact.
Opening in January 2026, the King’s/MRC Public Partnership programme will provide funds of up to £400 to successful applicants, along with mentorship from experts in patient and public involvement, to support early-stage public involvement.
An information session will be held on Wednesday the 14th of January at 13:30, ahead of the schemes launch on Monday 19th of January.
You can sign-up to the information session here.
