MRC Impact Prize 2022 Awards Ceremony

The MRC Impact Prize recognises individuals or teams who have made outstanding impacts in medical research in the following three areas:

open science impact
outstanding team impact
early career impact

At an award ceremony held on 14 March 2023, the open science impact prize went to the COMET (Core Outcome Measures for Effectiveness Trials) team from the University of Liverpool, for research into improving how patient outcomes are selected and measured in clinical trials.

The University of Oxford RECOVERY Trial team won the outstanding team impact prize for the world’s largest study of COVID-19 therapies that saved a million lives worldwide.

And Dr Amy Orben and Dr Segun Fatumo were joint winners of the early career impact prize for their work respectively in championing early-career researchers and in genetic risk prediction of complex diseases in Africa.

Each winner received £20,000 to widen the outreach or impact of their work or to advance their learning or development.
