Translational Research Initiative

The Translational Research Initiative (TRI) is a service based within the University of Glasgow’s College of Medical, Veterinary and Life Sciences (MVLS) that supports researchers of all career stages to translate their discoveries and innovations into real-world impacts that benefit society.  

The TRI supports translational research activities by coordinating access to relevant funding, helping to identify and develop translational research opportunities, and arranging access to expertise such as innovation and clinical champions. The TRI also provides project management support for translational research projects and organises a variety of workshops and training events. 

TRI Managed Funding

The TRI manages a total of £7M of block awards from UKRI and the Wellcome Trust. This funding has so far generated over £88M in follow-on funding and in-cash and in-kind contributions. TRI currently hold MRC and BBSRC Impact Acceleration Accounts (IAA) to help support the translation of research.
