The graphic below shows our research investment areas for the year ending 30 June 2024 (in millions). The research we fund is categorised according to the health issues addressed, with each study assigned up to two health issues. This means the funding for some studies is allocated to two health issues to recognise the investment contributes to both areas of importance.
Our dedicated portal HRC Gateway has detailed information on our different funding rounds including guidance on how to apply. Applications are made via Gateway.
You can find more information on the research the HRC has funded in the past 10 years at the HRC Research Repository, including study title, lay summary, lead investigator, host organisation, the sum awarded, year of study commencement, and contract duration.
