Eligibility Criteria:

Open to global, interdisciplinary research teams
Must include experts in fields such as genomics, immunology, ageing, metabolism, epidemiology, and AI
Collaborative proposals with long-term data cohorts and novel mechanistic approaches are encouraged

Funding Details:

Up to GBP 20 million (approx. USD 25 million) per team
Supports high-impact, multi-year research
