AstraZeneca Shares Compounds with UK Medical Researchers

As part of the collaboration with AstraZeneca, the Medical Research Council is inviting research proposals from across the UK academic community to use the compounds in new areas.

UK medical researchers will be granted access free of charge to 22 compounds developed by AstraZeneca in 2012, following a landmark agreement between the Medical Research Council (MRC) and AstraZeneca.

 

As part of the collaboration with AstraZeneca, the MRC is inviting research proposals from across the UK academic community to use the compounds in new areas. The MRC will judge and select the best scientific proposals, and award up to £10m (€11.6m) in total to fund research across a broad range of human diseases.

 

A two-stage process will be used to identify projects that are feasible, do not duplicate existing studies and do not directly contribute to AstraZeneca development programmes.
