Translation Manchester Accelerator Awards 2023
Funded by the Wellcome Translational Partnership Award (TPA), the NIHR Manchester Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), and by the 2022-25 MRC UKRI Impact Accelerator Award (IAA) we run an annual Translation Manchester Accelerator Awards call. This year within this call we are offering four translational funding schemes
We are pleased to announce that our 2023 funding call – Translation Manchester Accelerator Awards (TMAA) will open soon. The TMAA call brings together institutional (Wellcome Translational Partnership Award and MRC IAA) and NIHR Manchester BRC translational research funding streams under one umbrella, allowing academics to access funding from a number of sources via the one application process.
The overall aim of the call is to facilitate progression of research projects along the translational pathway, unlocking bottlenecks, and bringing the University’s innovations closer to patient impact. The TMAA call consists of four funding schemes.
For general guidance on the funding schemes please refer to our FAQs document which will be released soon. If you need support beyond the TMAA call remit or outside the call timelines, get in touch with us at translation@manchester.ac.uk as we might have additional resources (Flexible Funding Scheme) we can support you with.
