The DPFS scheme is the MRC's key Translational Research Strategy and supports the translation of fundamental discoveries towards the benefit to human health. The remit of the DPFS scheme includes funding: the pre-clinical development and early clinical testing of novel therapeutics, devices and diagnostics, and repurposing existing therapies. All disease areas (including global health) and modalities of intervention are eligible to apply including: small molecules, peptides, antibodies, vaccines, regenerative medicine, cell and gene therapy, devices, surgical techniques and psychological approaches.
The TRO's mission is to support and facilitate the translation of Oxford's emerging basic, biomedical and clinical research towards therapies, techniques and medical products with therapeutic value.
If you are interested in applying to this call, the TRO can support you in drafting your application. Please contact the TRO as soon as possible to get the best out of our support service, ideally before 17 Feb for full applications and 3 Mar for outline applications.
