Our research

We are one of the largest funders of diabetes research in the UK. We support pioneering research into cause and prevention, improving care and treatment, and working towards finding a cure.

Our research portfolio, currently valued at £25 million over five years, includes between 120 and 130 research projects on all types of diabetes.

We also support a range of research funding schemes including, project grants, funding to purchase laboratory equipment, and research training opportunities, including PhD studentships and research fellowships aimed at clinicians and scientists.

 

In 2011 we made 49 new research awards with a combined value of almost £6 million. We awarded seven research fellowships and 10 new PhD students.
