“HDR UK has committed core funding in place to cover its activities until 31 March 2028 a grant agreement from the Medical Research Council to HDR UK for £71.3m was signed 5th April 2023. The Trustees have therefore been able to satisfy themselves that the Company is able to continue as a going concern.”
Significant events
- “In July 2024 a new study, enabled by the BHF Data Science Centre and led by the Universities of Cambridge, Bristol and Edinburgh, showed that the incidence of cardiovascular events - such as heart attacks and strokes - was lower after COVID-19 vaccination than before or without vaccination.”
- “August 2024 saw a new announcement from one of the three major research streams of global dementia research initiative NEURii, a collaboration between HDR UK, industry partners and academic institutions which started in 2023.”
- “HDR UK brought in the Autumn with the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the National Research Foundation Singapore (NRF).”
- “In November 2024, researchers published a paper in BMJ Medicine shedding new light on the combination of chronic health conditions which add to NHS winter pressures.”
- “We also launched the Uniting the UK's Health Data: A Huge Opportunity for Society, known as the Sudlow Review - an independent review into the current health data science landscape.”
- “In April 2025, the Government announced it would introduce a Health Data Research Service.”
- “HDR UK started 2025 with a bang, launching its first ever impact report at its inaugural lecture bringing together senior figures across health and science.”
- “In July 2024, HDR UK launched the Dementia Trials Accelerator (DTA) in partnership with the UK Dementia Research Institute (UK DRI) with funding of £20m from the Medical Research Council (MRC).”
- “In the same month, HDR UK and Dementia Platform UK (DPUK), in partnership with UK DRI and the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) research community, launched the MND Research Data Catalyst (MND-RDC).”
- “Finally, the newest addition to the Brain Health portfolio was a UK-wide study announced in March 2025, an innovative dementia research initiative to be delivered in collaboration with GSK, HDR UK, and the UK DRI over the next 3-4 years.”
