The Medical Research Council’s new bioinformatics institute Health Data Research UK is calling on those institutions that expressed an interest in being one of its substantive sites earlier in the year to submit full proposals.
Under the call, between five and seven hubs will be created to overcome research challenges identified by Andrew Morris, HDR UK’s director. The hubs will be funded for more than 10 years, with around £25 million from HDR UK over the first five-years of the project.
More than one research organisation is expected to contribute to each research hub, and the hubs can include one or more research location.
