The Medical Research Charities Group (MRCG) is an umbrella group of medical research and patient support charities, which originally formed to represent the joint interests of charities specialising in restoring health through medical research, diagnosis and treatment and, where possible, the prevention of disease. A core belief of the group is that today's health research is tomorrow's healthcare.

Vision

The MRCG will provide a sustaining and integrating influence across the medical research community, promoting scientific, clinical and paramedical research.  The MRCG believes that patient organisations should lead and stimulate critical medical research needed by patients, and will provide leadership and support to charities in Ireland that are engaged in medical research. 

Mission

The MRCG's mission is to generate a dynamic medical research environment in Ireland.  This will be achieved by partnership with external organisations; advocacy to enable change; a forum to promote education and integration; and the provision of direct services to members.

• Increase the funding for medical research in Ireland
