£800m for medical research
£800m will be spent to boost medical research, advancing diagnosis, prevention and treatment, and benefitting patients with diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
The research will be carried out through NHS and university partnerships, managed by the National Institute for Health Research, including collaboration with industry and charities.
The 31 awards include funding for four new biomedical research units which specialise in dementia research.
It is the UK’s largest ever investment in early stage health research.
