Discovery research is our term for studies, across a wide range of disciplines, that lead to new knowledge and insights into human life, health and wellbeing. This includes research that may have clinical or societal impact, or translational potential, or research focusing on diseases of global, regional or local importance.

As a global funder, we aim to grow and diversify the research and researchers we fund by supporting a range of projects that better represent the international research community.

We know that if we are going to make a significant impact on improving human health, we need to fund research led from a diverse range of countries, perspectives and experiences.

Watch our webinars to hear more details on how your research fits our Discovery Research remit.
