Diabetes UK’s Research Committee is composed of diabetes experts including medical and scientific experts and people living with diabetes.
The Research Committee meets twice a year to make funding decisions on project grant and equipment grant applications.
Throughout the rest of the year, Research Committee members are called upon to make funding recommendations about Small Grant applications, and fellowships and studentships.
There is the opportunity to co-opt people with special expertise onto the Research Committee if appropriate and required.
