Apply for a Heart Research UK Medical Research Grant

We fund research which has a focus on heart diseases and research proposals must demonstrate the potential to benefit heart disease patients. Therefore, proposals addressing conditions such as stroke, diabetes and peripheral arterial disease are not within our research remit and will not be considered.

Each year, our expert Medical Review Panels meet to rigorously assess and select the best grant applications for research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease.

Heart Research UK is a NIHR non-commercial Partner. This means the studies that we fund may be eligible to access the NIHR Study Support Service which is provided by the NIHR Clinical Research Network. Read the full policy Eligibility Criteria for NIHR Clinical Research Network Support
In partnership with your local R&D office, we encourage you to involve your local NIHR Clinical Research Network team in discussions as early as possible when planning your study. This will enable you to fully benefit from the support available through the NIHR Study Support Service. Find out more Study Support Service.
