The Helix Group recognises our most significant supporters who donate £250 or more each year to the Academy. Members listed on the website here, are publicly recognised on a new commemorative board in the Fellows' Room, at our Annual Meeting, in our Annual Report and Directory, and at events to thank our supporters and benefactors. We are delighted that we have over 80 members of the Helix Group and hope that we might reach 100 by Christmas. We welcome new members and to join the Helix Group please download and complete our donation form. Since moving to 41 Portland Place we have achieved enviable policy impacts to the benefit of UK medical science and expanded our work to mentor, train and engage young medical researchers. Headlines have included working group reports on the Regulation and governance of medical research and Animals containing human material both of which were launched at press events held in the building. We have continued to champion the cause of young medical scientists pursuing academic careers and have expanded our mentoring and outreach work as well as grants funding for this cohort of researchers. The Academy was delighted to announce earlier this year that the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills (BIS) has agreed to support us with £470k per annum from 2015, matching the support we receive from the Department of Health. This will help to provide a sustainable platform for our activities, but further funds are needed to initiate independent policy work that can exert real influence, and catalyse new programmes to nurture the next generation of medical researchers.
