After much consideration, The Rebecca L Cooper Medical Research Foundation has decided delay, and possibly cancel, the Project Grant round scheduled to open in August 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19 on the Foundations income from both shares and rents.
Like other medical research funders, we understand there is a lot of uncertainty with regards to when full access to laboratory and clinical research facilities will again be available. The Foundation will be closely monitoring progress to “research as normal” and, at an appropriate time, will be seeking to recommence our funding at the highest possible level. In time, details of new application dates will be released.
Wishing you all the best through this difficult period.
