The Department is liaising with medical research charities to understand the impact of the pandemic and to identify how we can work together to ensure patients continue to benefit from charity-funded research. Most recently, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy announced a £20 million initiative to support charity-funded early career researchers who play an essential role in delivering research which benefits patients and the wider public. The Government is committed to continue its support to research charities through the National Institute for Health Research, which helps to deliver vital health and care research across the country.
