UK Health Research Analysis:  http://www.ukcrc.org/researchcoordination/healthresearchanalysis/ukanalysis.aspx

A bespoke Health Research Classification System (HRCS) was developed to allow meaningful comparisons to be made across the different funders’ research portfolios.

It includes:

·         A breakdown of spending on all types of health research (from basic to clinical) across all areas of health and disease

·         Details of the distribution of funding within individual areas of health and disease 

·         The geographical spread of health research investment across the UK.

Medical research charities play an important role in funding health research in the UK. The UKCRC’s 2006 UK Health Research Analysis report included the government funders of health related research and the three largest medical research charities: the Wellcome Trust, Cancer Research UK and the British Heart Foundation.
