@drdavidlawrence @EDCTP @Sida @wellcometrust @The_MRC @UKaid Great thread David, we've been following the impressive outcomes of the work since featuring it in our 2014/15 impact report and noting the continued influence on WHO guidelines, fantastic to read such a positive update! https://t.co/PmYOGPds4g

Research is constantly shaping and improving our health and social care, but do you know who funds and supports this research in the UK?

@prof_djadams @GroupHarding @LizzieGadd Although it depends on your funder, a small number of the sections in the system require a response. At @The_MRC we read most of the returns, use them all, and are very grateful for the time taken to provide feedback. https://t.co/AOFwppSnbS

@5tuartreeves @Researchfish @UKRI_News Stuart, we've recently highlighted a few of the ways we put the information to use, but very happy to hear how we could do more. https://t.co/AOFwppSnbS

Inspiring discovery science translating into impact! It was 1978 when HHMI investigator Yuet Wai Kan found a RFLP associated with Sickle Cell disease, the first use of SNP linkage for genetic diagnosis. Now there is the promise of technology to correct this mutation in vivo.

@SimonRKerridge @ElsevierConnect @casrai @allen_liz Thanks Simon, @ElsevierLabs @ElsevierConnect any advice regarding being able to access this data?

[MRC Impact @MRCeVal]

@ElsevierConnect @casrai This seemed very good news, but it is not obvious how analysts can access this data - even when we have access to SciVal/Scopus. Important to provide access to data collected. @SimonRKerridge @allen_liz do you know how this data can be used?

[MRC Impact @MRCeVal]

Should add patient involvement, as they will have contributed hugely to its development.

[MRC Impact @MRCeVal]

The decades of discovery science + clinical research needed to bring such an advanced therapy to market is extraordinary, congrats to university researchers, clinicians, private sector scientists, public/charity and industry funders that have contributed to this new intervention!

@AnnaMGrey @davidyoungres Applicants to the MRC PHIND call https://t.co/iquhknTCnZ are now using an early pilot version of the new UKRI funding service (not JeS), and this will be handling more calls throughout 2022. More information at https://t.co/kKMOTzo0Vi

Huge research progress (immunology, genetic engineering etc.) in 50yrs since the world's 1st successful human to human heart transplant - a procedure that extends the lives of 170 a year in the UK, but with waiting list of 340 - still more discovery needed
