Wellcome - Discovery Research Funding Remit

Wellcome's Discovery Research Funding aims to generate knowledge that leads to a shift in understanding or delivers new insight into how human life and health work. It welcomes proposals that may have a clinical or societal impact or have translational potential, but the focus should be on discovery research. Deadline: various dates.

Applications can be related to the three health challenge programmes of Mental Health, Climate and Health, and Infectious Disease but this is not a requirement and doesn’t affect the assessment. For an idea of the diversity of research in the remit, read about our recently funded projects.

Wellcome supports research from a broad range of disciplines, including:

  • Science, technology, engineering, computation and mathematics
  • Clinical and allied health sciences
  • Experimental medicine
  • Epidemiology, population and public health

  • Arts, humanities, social sciences, and bioethics
