## Description

Defence Medical Services Research Steering Group \(DMSRSG\) is the primary mechanism through which the DMS endorses and funds research activity\. The research project must be of military relevance, scientifically robust, and offer value for money\. DMSRSG supports military-relevant medical research\. Projects are not restricted to a particular methodological approach or technology readiness level \(TRL\)\. We will support foundational science through to applied research\. Where foundational science / early TRL activity is proposed there must be a feasible pathway to impact on clinical delivery or operational capability\. Research must be predominantly medical or healthcare focused and we welcome qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research\. There is no limit on the amount of funding that can be requested per application\. However, the overall commitment budget at any one DMSRSG meeting is approximately £500k and we support multiple proposals at each round\. Funding requests should always be commensurate with the activity proposed and can be multi-year\. Priority areas are outlined in the calling notice\. Please note that the EOI process is open all year round with no deadline\.
