| Description: | The Francis Crick Institute (formerly UKCMRI) is a joint venture between the UK's largest biomedical research and academic institutions: The Medical Research Council (MRC), Cancer Research UK (CRUK), the Wellcome Trust, University College London, Kings College, London and Imperial College, London. A new research Institution will be established involving the construction of a new facility located close to St Pancras station, London. This facility will accommodate 1,268 scientists when fully operational. The National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) will be closed. This NIMR site at Mill Hill and the National Temperance Hospital site will be disposed of as part of this project. The project aims are: Sustain UK's position as a leader in biomedical research; Engagement with the most challenging research questions; A scale to compete with major new overseas developments; Promote the health of the public and wider UK economy; Address key concerns of 2006 Cooksey review on publicly-funded healthcare research; Excellent training environment for biomedical research. |
| DCA (RAG) | Amber/Green |
| DCA text: | The Project Assessment Review (PAR) report in May 2012 provided a Delivery Confidence Assessment of Amber/Green. As this is the second consecutive Amber/Green assessment the project was recommended to be reviewed next via the MPA Gateway process. The PAR report provided ten positive recommendations for the project, the majority of which relate to the on going transition element of the Crick project. Progress on the ten recommendations since the PAR report has been good. The MRC Monitoring Committee reviews this progress as an agenda item at its monthly meeting. |
