Philanthropy enables us to act where we can make the greatest difference — supporting people, ideas and collaborations that improve health.
Your support enables us to:
- Back early career researchers and future leaders
- Connect evidence with policy and practice
- Accelerate solutions to the most pressing health challenges
Through our grants, mentoring and career development programmes, your support helps researchers and innovators at critical stages, helping promising ideas become real-world impact.
For example, our Springboard programme has supported more than 470 early-career researchers across the UK, investing over £50 million in discovery-led research to help scientists establish independent careers, build collaborations and generate evidence that informs policy and improves health outcomes.

Giving to the Academy is giving directly to improve lives, not only to provide people like me with incredible opportunities like Springboard, but to champion a community of the best medical researchers who are asking the important questions to solve health problems."
