SGE Theme Pilot Project Funding Opportunity – NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre

The NIHR Imperial BRC Social, Genetic and Environmental Determinants of Health (SGE) Theme has funding available to support small BRC-Human Genetics Catalyst pilot projects.

This funding call is for projects investigating the potential genetic basis of usual or extreme disease phenotypes which are suspected to have a genetic basis – up to £25,000. Unlike other pilot project calls, successful projects will be allocated funding to undertake these investigations using the analysis pipeline established by the BRC-supported Paediatric Infectious Diseases (PID) Clinic and INGENIOS study run by Vanessa Sancho-Shimizu and Jethro Herberg.

Any clinical or academic member of staff with an employment contract with either Imperial College London or Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust will be eligible to apply. Applications from early-career researchers are encouraged, particularly if they are likely to support future funding opportunities.

Full details about the scope, selection criteria, eligibility and timeline can be found here.

To apply, fill out the application form by midday, Wednesday 15^th October 2025 and email it to Agi Komjathy a.komjathy@imperial.ac.uk
