 HOMEPAGE/ABOUT US/OUR GRANTS PROGRAMMES

Research grants




Our main aim is to fund high quality medical and social research in the areas of health and social well being.

We make grants directly to charities and voluntary sector organisations. Because many of these organisations are not able to carry out research by themselves, we want to promote partnerships between the voluntary sector and the research community.

The main theme of any application must be to promote social inclusion. We particularly welcome applications that address the social inclusion of the following groups:

  • young people.
  • older people.
  • people from black and minority ethnic groups.
  • people with learning difficulties.

If your project does not involve one of these priority groups, you can still get a grant.
