Association of Medical Research Charities (Investor) Non-funding Support

Entity: Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC): NGO against COVID-19

Description: Assess member's charities' research funding processes when they apply for membership and carry out a full audit every five years, to ensure they fund the best research. Also produce guides and provide training to help member charities maximise their impact. Run meetings, networks and events that connect member charities and key stakeholders, to share learning and foster collaborations that deliver benefits to patients sooner. Submit consultation responses, meet with policy-makers, publish position statements, and develop infographics and reports, to communicate member charities' value and enable them to drive positive change. The AMRC brings together and supports health and medical charities to produce high-quality research. They do this by influencing policy and research, and highlighting the sector’s contribution to patient and public health.

As part of their 2020-25 strategic plan, they consulted with members and developed five strategic objectives. These are to:

- To champion the unique voice of the medical research charity sector by informing and educating internal and external stakeholders across the changing life sciences and digital health landscape.
- To influence the research and health funding landscape to ensure that medical research charities investment is leveraged efficiently for patient impact.
- To foster and enable better collaboration to address the needs of patients by working with industry, academia, NHS, regulators, members and other stakeholders.
- To maximise the potential for research and innovation in the NHS to ensure the investment from medical research charities has the greatest impact for patients.
- To drive forward the quality future focused member offering which addresses changing needs and enhances AMRC’s delivery capability.

Throughout this period AMRC will support members with an online forum to share information and experiences, signpost and collate members’ guidance on the impact to the research they fund; and act as a channel of communication to share sector views with government and other key bodies.
