The Medical Research Council is a publicly-funded organisation dedicated to improving human health. It supports research across the entire spectrum of medical sciences, in universities and hospitals, in its own units and institutes in the UK and in Africa. The MRC works closely with key stakeholders and research funders - UK health departments, other departments and agencies, the six sister research councils, industry, and the academic and charity sectors - giving a high priority to research that is likely to make a real difference to clinical practice and the health of the population. This annual report describes progress in 2008-09, highlights key awards and partnerships, and outlines plans for the future.

The MRC can claim credit for the high status of UK biomedical research, but there is significant disquiet about the policies and performance of the MRC from individual researchers and organisations. The Committee found that there was poor financial management and poor planning, with too many funds committed over long periods leading to large numbers of top quality grant proposals being turned down. The MRC has introduced misguided strategies for its research support that have discriminated against young researchers and some disciplines. There is inconsistent and inadequate communication which has hampered the Committee's ability to assess the MRC's performance and misled its research community.
