UCL is the research partner of the NIHR UCLH BRC, awarded £90m, the NIHR Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) BRC, awarded £35m, and the NIHR Moorfields BRC, awarded £20m. The total award to UCL is the most of any UK university and signals the strength of UCL’s world-class translational research and scientific discovery.

UCL has a close strategic partnership with UCLH in research, with UCL sponsoring most of the clinical trials held at UCLH and our investigators leading trial evaluation.  The funding will be made available through grants and be used to support research, which will help improve patient outcomes, safety and wellbeing. This includes the development of new and innovative therapies for cancer and dementia, improving digital innovation and maximising use of large-scale health data.
