About the MRCG/HRB Joint Funding Scheme
The Health Research Board (HRB) Strategic Business Plan 2016-2020 will set out our mission with two complementary aspects: to improve people’s health and to improve healthcare delivery. The HRB will continue to work in partnership with others to accelerate the translation of research into real benefits for people and play a key role in health system innovation, transformation and economic development.
Since 2006, the Medical Research Charities Group (MRCG) and the HRB have operated an innovative joint funding scheme that allows members of the MRCG to support research of particular interest to specific patient populations. This scheme provides funding for clearly defined research projects in disease areas of strategic relevance to each individual charity. MRCG/HRB awards will be up to a maximum total award value of €300,000 for projects from 12 up to 36 months.
As calls are announced, applicants should contact the designated contact point at the respective charity. If requested by participating charities, HRB will update this page with announcements of individual calls as they open.
