Medical Research Council
The Medical Research Council (MRC) is a UK government body under UKRI that funds biomedical and clinical research across all aspects of human health. In the psychedelic field, the MRC co-funded the KARE trial — the UK's largest study of ketamine-assisted therapy for alcohol use disorder, led by the University of Exeter — and has supported additional ketamine cognition research.
