The award will enable the BRC to continue its work in conducting cutting-edge research to translate scientific discoveries into new treatments, diagnostic tests and medical technologies for patients.

The new funding round is from December 2022 to November 2027. It is part of a larger award of £790 million to 20 Biomedical Research Centres across England.

Jonathan Sterne, Professor of Medical Statistics and Epidemiology at Bristol Medical School and Director of the new Bristol BRC, commented:

“This second round of funding as an NIHR Biomedical Research Centre is testament to the hard work so many people put in to both our first five years as a BRC and developing the bid for this next five years. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has contributed to Bristol BRC.”
