We're solving health challenges through research and advocacy.
Science transforms health. We plan to spend £16 billion between 2022 and 2032 on research and advocacy to build a healthier future for everyone.
Research we fund generates new knowledge about life, health and wellbeing. What we discover today will transform health in ways we can't yet imagine. That's why out outlook is broad, from cells to societies.
We're also bringing together expertise from across science, innovation and society to take on climate and health, infectious disease and mental health.
To achieve all of this, our work focuses on four programmes.
Our long-term funding spans all fields and disciplines. The goal is to generate new knowledge that will improve health. We call this discovery research.
From humanities and social sciences to genomics and clinical research, we’re supporting researchers across their careers to remove barriers and unlock potential.
Our vision is a world in which climate change does not harm health in the communities it affects most.
Our vision is a world in which escalating infectious diseases are under control in the communities most affected.
Our vision is a world in which no one is held back by mental health problems.
We're financially and politically independent. This gives us a unique position to fund ambitious, global research across all fields and disciplines.
We bring governments, affected communities, non-governmental organisations, funders and organisations together from across the world to advocate for evidence-based policies that improve health.
We're breaking down barriers to make research environments more open, engaged, ethical and efficient.
