Funding Call Funding available for pilot human genetics research projects
The National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Imperial Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) has funding available to support pilot project as part of the BRC’s Social, Genetic and Environmental Determinants of Health (SGE) theme.
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. Any clinical or academic member of staff at the Trust will be eligible to apply for up to £25,000.
Applications from early career researchers are encouraged, particularly if they are likely to support future funding opportunities.
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.
Full details about the scope, selection criteria, eligibility and timeline can be found here.
To apply, fill out the application form by midday, Wednesday 15th October 2025 and email it to Agi Komjathy a.komjathy@imperial.ac.uk
