Action Medical Research is dedicated to preventing and treating disease and disability by funding vital medical research in hospitals or institutions across the UK.
Our Remit
From 2009 the research we support will focus on child health to include problems affecting pregnancy, childbirth, babies, children and young adults. We support a broad spectrum of research with the objective of:
- preventing disease and disability and
- alleviating physical disability
Please note that our emphasis is on clinical research or research at the interface between clinical and basic science.

Project grants
Grants are made for up to three years to those in tenured positions in a university or hospital.
Applications should be of the highest quality as the scheme is very competitive.
The average award we make is in the region of £110,000 and grants above £200,000 would rarely be given.
We are happy to consider grant requests at a lower level of funding (below £50,000).
A research team can only apply for one grant per grant round.
Research Training Fellowships (RTFs)
The fellowships are personal awards for the training of talented medical and non-medical graduates.
Applications should be of the highest quality as the scheme is extremely competitive.
