This intervention is based on the success of 'Bridging the Gaps' which allowed institutions to undertake a range of people-focussed activities to facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations, funding for which can be difficult to find elsewhere. We expect that Universities will focus on a part of the research agenda, depending on their individual strengths, but a key requirement will be the engagement of engineering and the physical sciences (including mathematical sciences) as part of the multidisciplinary networks.

Grants range from £200,000 to £2 million and cover 100 per cent full economic cost. This initiative will support novel clinical trials in the areas of islet transplantation, kidney and liver transplantation, autoimmune diseases, and allergy and asthma, as well as the development of novel tolerance assay or mechanistic studies. Funds will be available to academic, government or industry-based researchers. The aim of these grants is to encourage a wider range of applications applying systems approaches to medical research. Applications in systems medicine will be welcomed across the MRCs broad remit, especially at programme-level. This may support a period of service training, personal development or study for management qualifications beneficial to clinical pathology service delivery, which may be undertaken at home or overseas. A total of £10,000 is available for one or more awards. These contribute towards the cost of providing essential infrastructure to support cardiovascular science in any academic institution.
