Abstract

Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.

Technical Summary

The MRC Impact Acceleration Accounts is a key part of MRC's translational research strategy and provides annual awards to institutions to flexibly support a portfolio of translational research projects. MRC IAA is designed to accelerate the transition from discovery research to viable translational projects by supporting preliminary studies to establish proof-of-concept and to rapidly de-risk projects across the whole translational pathway so that they become competitive for substantial funding for development.
