Funding ::
The Medical Research Council (MRC) is the principal source of research funding. A total budget of £25m p.a. is set every five years following an Institute-wide review of resources. This review takes place after the quinquennial peer review (conducted by MRC Research Boards) of the programmes of the individual Divisions.
The Institute also attracts funding support from a wide range of different agencies, including medical research charities, international sources, particularly the EU, and from industrial and commercial companies:
