The MRC-NIHR Phenome Centre will look for new molecular 'biomarkers' for disease by analysing samples from patients and volunteers.
The 1991 Persian Gulf War provided something of a baseline for defining the threat against which to define the characteristics of an MRC-capable force.
Thus, as critics of both the two-MRC standard and successive defense budgets would point out, albeit with entirely different emphases, continuous shortfalls in strategic lift, war reserve stocks, and specialized assets made the threat of a full-fledged second MRC less than totally credible.

In 1992, the federal government did a new sealift requirements study, based on the two-MRC scenario reflected in the Bottom-Up Review.
The decision to shift from the semblance of a two-MRC force structure to a one-and-a-half force suggests the opportunity for a significant reduction in ground forces.

Professor Robin Franklin, a regeneration biologist at the Wellcome Trust-MRC Stem Cell Institute and report co-author, said: 'Our findings are extremely exciting because they show for the first time that transplanting these types of cell into a severely damaged spinal cord can bring about significant improvement.
Thus, when it was published, the BUR appeared to hold to the two-simultaneous-MRC formula.
The two-MRC standard was never considered a perfect guide to force sizing and modernization.
Regrettably, the new guidance repeats an old pattern, going back almost to the founding of the two-MRC standard.

It provided the first detailed definition of the size and structure of a two-MRC capability based on detailed analysis and war gaming.
This variant of the two-MRC construct made a particular difference in the amount of airlift and sealift and the investments required in critical warfighting enablers.
When first promulgated, the two-MRC strategy was recognized as quite challenging.
Basically, a two-MRC force structure was twice this number of forces.
The two-MRC force structure served as a hedge against strategic surprise.
Section IV defines a 21st-century standard for a two-MRC force structure.
This paper defines the essential quantitative and qualitative characteristics of a U.S. force structure required to meet the two-MRC standard for the near term and midterm.
Since the inception of the two-MRC standard, the United States has invested in a range of platforms, systems, and capabilities that have significantly enhanced its ability to conduct large-scale joint and combined operations.
The 2001, 2006, and 2010 QDRs attempted to address this fact, but failed to make a compelling argument, in part because they juxtaposed the requirements to maintain a two-MRC force structure with the requirements to address other missions and investment objectives, whether in capabilities for other missions or in advanced military technologies.

Dr Matthew Brett, of the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit in Cambridge. said there had only been limited research into the long-term effects of motherhood in humans.
Rather, the 2010 QDR proposed to determine force sizing and composition by using the requirements of a diverse and complex set of scenarios, including long-duration stability operations and the defense of the homeland on par with a major regional conflict (MRC).
