Body
- Wellcome-funded science should enable science and innovation to tackle the greatest threats facing humanity, and it should do so through a broad programme of discovery research, together with research directed at specific health challenges.
- Three criteria were used to determine the health challenges Wellcome should focus on: the urgency and scale of the threat; the opportunity for Wellcome to lead the way and make a difference; and the ability to harness what differentiates Wellcome from others.
- Three health challenges were identified based on these criteria: mental health, global heating and infectious diseases.
- Each carries the risk of premature disability and death in future generations, and each will be felt most acutely by minorities or resource-poor populations. For each, Wellcome can support a continuum of work – from discovery research to translation and implementation, complemented by advocacy, policy and public engagement.
- In discovery research, Wellcome should promote a healthy and productive research culture, ensuring that science as a career is open to everyone. By giving researchers the freedom to ask the most exciting questions, supported with career development and good leadership, everyone should benefit from Wellcome-funded research.
