Description
Health Research Classification System (HRCS) is a bespoke system for classifying the full spectrum of biomedical and health research – from basic to applied – across all areas of health and disease.
During the application process, we aim to determine the proportion it is aligned to HRCS by:
Health Categories - the topic or disease of interest
Research Activities - the type of research
See https://hrcsonline.net/ for further information including details of the taxonomies that our portfolios are coded against.
This table also acts as a lookup table for the Consolidated View dataset.
The dataset is updated quarterly, and the data in this edition is up to date as of the 30th June 2025.
