This includes a wide variety of areas including physiological, biological and mechanistic aspects that are applicable to many diseases, disorders and other conditions.Details of UKRI and NIHR funding on specific areas is provided in the table below: UKRI funding committed in 2023 and 2024 to dateNIHR funding in FY 2023/24Hodgkin LymphomaUKRI did not commit any funding for Hodgkin lymphoma research in 2023-24.NIHR has not allocated funding for research concerning Hodgkin Lymphoma during financial year 2023-24.Myelodysplastic SyndromeUKRI did not commit any new funding for Myelodysplastic Syndrome research in 2023-24.NIHR has not allocated funding for research concerning Myelodysplastic Syndrome during financial year 2023-24.Stem CellThe total commitment in 2023/24 from UKRI for research concerning Stem Cells was £63,966,085 for 69 awards (14 awards from BBSRC; 4 awards from EPSRC; 6 awards from Innovate UK; 27 awards from MRC with a value of £28,347,161; 3 awards from NC3Rs; 15 awards from centrally managed UKRI schemes).NIHR has not funded any research concerning Stem Cells during financial year 2023-24.HaemophiliaUKRI did not commit any new funding for Haemophilia research in 2023-24.NIHR allocated £154,000 for high-quality research concerning Haemophilia in 2023-24Sickle CellUKRI did not commit any new funding for Sickle Cell research in 2023-24.NIHR allocated £336,368 for high-quality research concerning Cickle Cell research in the financial year 2023-24ThalassaemiaUKRI did not commit any new funding for Thalassaemia research in 2023-24.NIHR allocated £158,900 for high-quality research concerning Thalassaemia in the financial year 2023-24Human Immunodeficiency DiseaseThe total commitment from UKRI in 2023/24 was £13,983,734 for 13 awards (1 award from EPSRC; 8 awards from MRC with a value of £10,800,617 for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) research; 4 awards from centrally managed UKRI schemes).NIHR allocated £5,620,876 for high quality research concerning Human Immunodeficiency Disease (HIV and AIDS) in 2023-24Vitamin B12 deficiencyThe total commitment across UKRI in 2023-24 for Vitamin B12 deficiency research was £470,348 for 2 awards from Innovate UK.NIHR has not allocated any funds concerning Vitamin B12 Deficiency during financial year 2023-24.Neural Tube Defect PreventionThe total commitment from UKRI in 2023/24 for research concerning Neural Tube Defect Prevention was £4,289,077 for 4 awards (2 awards from MRC with a value of £3,949,400; 1 award from ESRC; 1 award from centrally managed UKRI schemes).NIHR has not allocated any funds concerning Neural Tube Defect Prevention research during the financial year of 2023-24.Malaria vaccinationThe total commitment from UKRI in 2023/24 for research concerning Malaria vaccination was £11,697,976 for 7 awards (2 awards from MRC with a value of £3,387,100; 5 awards from centrally managed UKRI schemes).NIHR has not allocated any funds concerning Malaria Vaccination research during the financial year of 2023-24.
