MRC and SAMRC invite health research applications in the focus area of non–communicable diseases (NCDs), including:
- mental health
- cancer
- cardiovascular diseases
- diabetes
- chronic lung diseases
- chronic kidney disease
- chronic liver disease (non-infectious aetiology)
You must be:
- a South Africa-UK collaboration and can additionally include African collaborators
- submitted to SAMRC by the South African lead investigator, on behalf of the consortium
- be official development assistance-eligible and focused on research of primary relevance to South Africa or low and middle-income countries
Up to 70 million South African Rand (approximately £3 million) is available for the focus area, with an expectation that we will fund several three-year projects per topic.
