For full details, visit .

Who is eligible to apply

To be eligible to apply for this opportunity you must:

  • be a researcher or specialist employed by . This includes eligible individuals with roles or job titles such as Research Software Engineer
  • show that you will direct the project, be actively engaged in the work or both
  • have the relevant expertise and experience to lead or contribute to the development of UK database or digital research infrastructure (DRI) and resources
  • be able to explain how your application fits into the wider UK health and care data landscape to add value in driving towards a more harmonised and simplified UK DRI vision, without being duplicative or increasing complexity for users seeking to work across DRIs

For applicants who do not have a contract of employment for the duration of the proposed project, by submitting an application, the research organisation is confirming if it is successful that:

  • contracts will be extended beyond the end date of the project
  • all necessary support for the project and the applicants will be provided, including mentorship and career development for early career researchers
Host research organisations

Applications can be from a single eligible organisation or a partnership of organisations.

When there are two or more eligible organisations involved, for administrative purposes it is necessary to identify a single lead researcher or specialist as project lead who must be affiliated with the lead research organisation.

However, the balance of activity and leadership across the participants and partner organisations can be equally shared if desirable. What is critical is for the approach to leadership and decision making across multiple organisations to be clearly specified where applicable.

International applicants

In projects within Medical Research Council (MRC) remit, MRC will consider the inclusion of international applicants as project co-leads if they provide expertise not available in the UK and make a major intellectual contribution to the design or conduct of the project. Where applications are solely within National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) remit, NIHR will not fund international applicants.

You must justify in your application why their expertise is required and to provide clear indicators of commitment to delivering the UK landscape vision for DRIs, see Applicant and team capability to deliver. If you wish to include funding for international applicants, you should seek guidance from the MRC programme manager in advance of submitting the application.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

We are committed to achieving equality of opportunity for all funding applicants. We encourage applications from a diverse range of researchers.

We support people to work in a way that suits their personal circumstances. This includes:

  • career breaks
  • support for people with caring responsibilities
  • flexible working
  • alternative working patterns
