How we’re funded
We received initial funding of £79 million from UK Research and Innovation – the UK Government-funded body that invests in science and research. This funding has been used to begin to deliver the programme.
The Government’s 2023 Autumn Statement announced an extra £51 million of new funding, to be delivered through UK Research and Innovation. The funding will go towards genotyping the first one million participants, and recruiting hundreds of thousands of new volunteers.
In addition, we have raised £180 million from leading life sciences companies and health research charities, who are investing in and providing their expertise to support the design and delivery of our programme.
