We believe the best ideas for research projects come from those doctors working with patients on a day to day basis or the innovative researchers who are pushing the boundaries of scientific knowledge. That is why we respond to applications for funding from any hospital or university in the UK as long as they are of the highest quality and most likely to make a difference to health and medicine.
Many of our research projects involve working directly with patients who have been affected by a disease or disability. Our approach also means we can be flexible and respond to new advances in technology, new discoveries or emerging health needs.
As well as funding projects grants we are also proud of our prestigious Research Training Fellowships. Our RTF programme has been running for over 30 years and ensures we continue to invest in building scientific and medical expertise of the future by giving the brightest and best graduates the chance to train in research techniques.
So far we have supported over 150 RTFs, and the majority continue to advance scientific knowledge, and make significant contributions to improving healthcare treatments and services.
