UCL excels at Medical Research Council applications and awards

The Medical Research Council (MRC) has announced that UCL received the largest amount of funding and highest number of awards through its grants and fellowships programme in 2008/2009. UCL also made the highest number of grant applications deemed 'internationally competitive'. The university received 70 grants and fellowships (up from 43 the previous year), almost 14% (up from 10%) of the total number awarded by the MRC. The £44 million awarded to UCL was 16% of the total funding (up from 10%). Fifty-eight grant applications made by UCL to the MRC were judged of 'internationally competitive' quality in 2008/2009. This was the most applications of that quality made by any institution and constituted 13% of all such MRC applications (up from 10%). It was also more than twice the number of UCL applications of that calibre made in the previous year.
