No single research funder has the resources or expertise to address the complex factors and systems influencing health on their own. Therefore, a partnership of twelve funders including charities, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) councils and the UK health and social care departments established the multimillion-pound UKPRP. For further details of the remit of each partner, please refer to the links below.

The MRC administers the initiative on behalf of the UKPRP funding partners.
