We run one targeted grant call per year, accepting applications for project grants in areas of unmet need that are important to people living with IBD. If you'd like to hear about the latest news and future grant rounds, please sign up to join our community.
Crohn's & Colitis UK is a NIHR non-commercial Partner. This means the studies that we fund may be eligible to access the NIHR Study Support Service which is provided by the NIHR Clinical Research Network. The NIHR Clinical Research Network can now support health and social care research taking place in non-NHS settings, such as studies running in care homes or hospices, or public health research taking place in schools and other community settings. Read the full policy: Eligibility Criteria for NIHR Clinical Research Network Support. (.PDF)
In partnership with your local R&D office, we encourage you to involve your local NIHR Clinical Research Network team in discussions as early as possible when planning your study. This will enable you to fully benefit from the support available through the NIHR Study Support Service. Find out more about the Study Support Service.
If your study involves NHS sites in England you will need to apply for Health Research Authority Approval. Guidance on submitting an application.
