Support MRS

We are dependent on donations, legacies and investment income to be able to fund the great research and scientists we support.

As the country’s largest independent medical research charity, our team is small but our impact is great. Our prestigious funding programmes provide the foundations for research careers and a legacy of world-leading research and scientific discoveries.

We support outstanding research that aims to improve the diagnosis, treatment or prevention of diseases; to understand basic disease processes; and to develop medical technologies. You can read about the projects we have funded as a result of the generosity of past donors, including a rapid-response programme of research into Covid-19, on our Awards page.

The grants we are making today will have long-lasting benefits for future generations.  The support of our donors is critical to enable Medical Research Scotland to help the brightest and best researchers establish a career and reach their potential.

Please help us to continue to better understand, diagnose and treat disease by donating today.  All donations and legacies, large or small, are very welcome. Please see our Legacy Brochure to learn how your leagacy can support our work.
