Multimorbidity in the UK population: understanding disease clustering

Posted by: Julie Simpson - Posted on:

The Medical Research Council (MRC) and the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) are issuing a joint call for research projects into disease clustering in multimorbidity. Awards of up to £600,000 (funders’ contribution) are available for up to 36 months. Funding is available for exploratory or hypothesis-driven research that will systematically identify or explore common disease clusters, their distributions in diverse groups, multimorbidity trajectories and/or the underpinning mechanisms across the life course. We encourage applications from cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional teams to develop research in this important field. A total of £3m is available for this call.

The closing date is 9 October at 16.00

More information and details of how to apply are on the MRC website.
