Application Procedures

The UK Stem Cell Foundation and the Medical Research Council are working to build a UK portfolio of high-quality translational research and clinical trials, aimed at developing potential stem cell therapies.

The Joint Scientific Advisory Board will consider applications whose goals are to contribute enabling technologies and/or translational research in stem cells which could ultimately lead to a phase III clinical trial.

UKSCF operates a three stage application process specifically designed to minimize the input required on the applicant's behalf and maximize the potential in all research proposals.

We strongly advise applicants to contact one of the following UKSCF representatives to discuss research criteria before commencing their application.

Dr Robin Buckle
Programme Manager for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine
