About NIMR :: Science at the Institute
Four major research areas at the Institute contain 15 Divisions with over 200 scientists, 100 post-doctoral fellows, and approximately 100 postgraduate students making the Institute the largest of the MRC's research establishments.
Research support
Research at the Institute is underpinned by over 200 scientific support and ancillary staff within the Divisions, together with those providing central services and common facilities.
Funding
The Medical Research Council (MRC) is the principal source of research funding. A total budget of £25m p.a. is set every five years following an Institute-wide review of resources. This review takes place after the quinquennial peer review (conducted by MRC Research Boards) of the programmes of the individual Divisions.
The Institute also attracts support from a wide range of different agencies, including medical research charities, international sources, particularly the EU, and from industrial and commercial companies.
