No, an applicant whose project has been retained under the MPhil/PhD programme of the Council is not allowed to accept another scholarship for the same project from another awarding institution. Likewise, if an individual is already a recipient of a scholarship under the MPhil/PhD programme at another institution, that person is not eligible for an award by the MRC for the same project. The individual has an obligation to choose between the MRC award and a scholarship from another awarding institution.
