Guts UK, the national charity for the digestive system, has joined forces with the British Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition (BSPGHAN), Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Pancreatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland (PSGBI) to fund three research grants aimed at accelerating vital research into pancreatitis.
Despite the significant and often devastating impact the condition can have on those affected, pancreatitis has long been underfunded and undervalued. Pancreatitis is a priority area for Guts UK, who delivered a Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) into pancreatitis in 2022 to identify the top ten research priorities for the condition.
This research funding call aims to accelerate progress against the priorities identified by patients, carers and healthcare professionals involved in the PSP, and to boost pancreatitis research across the UK and Ireland.
Three grants of up to £60,000 are available to researchers in recognised academic or clinical institutions in the UK and Ireland. Please see individual grant information for more details:
This grant will support research focused on paediatric pancreatitis. Find out more about this grant and how to apply here.
This grant will support research into pancreatitis that is directly relevant to and has potential benefit for people with cystic fibrosis with a complication of pancreatitis. Find out more about this grant and how to apply here.
This grant will support research and innovation by established researchers in all areas of pancreatitis within the UK and Ireland. Find out more about this grant and how to apply here.
Researchers may only apply for one grant within this call and a project can only be submitted by one applicant. For further information and queries, visit our Research Grants and Awards page or email research@gutscharity.org.uk.
Guts UK is the only UK charity to fund research into conditions affecting all parts of the digestive system. Under our new strategy, we will especially focus on neglected and underfunded digestive conditions where we feel we can make the biggest difference, including pancreatitis.
