Research grants

We have been funding selected pieces of research for 40 years, and have funded hospitals and clinicians from around the UK.  

In 2017 we decided to focus our research grants on Haematology Trainees.  We aim to encourage researchers and clinical entrepreneurs of the future, and recognise that in today's environment it is much more difficult to develop research skills in parallel with clinical training.  

The programme will fund either an area of research in the field of Haem-oncology, or an innovation, or to test an innovation that would be of direct benefit to patients.  

• Funding can be for a period of 1-3 years provided the clinician remains in training during this time
• The work should be done in parallel with clinical training
• It is not to be used for funding drug trials, but might be applied to compare the effectiveness of different treatment regimes in different hospital settings
• It must be an original idea
• Applications may be peer reviewed, and will be considered in competition with other submissions.  
• A single project is unlikely to be eligible for funding of over £40K per year.
