Our research projects

Our research project directory showcases the diverse and exciting array of diabetes research projects that we are supporting all over the UK.

 

Everything you see here is possible thanks to the continued support of our members, donors and voluntary groups – who help us decide which studies deserve the charity's support and help raise the money that is vital to research.

 

Ever since Diabetes UK awarded its first research grant in 1935 (for £50), we have been one of the largest funders of diabetes research in the UK.

We support a wide range of pioneering initiatives into the causes and prevention of diabetes, improvements in care and treatment and the search for a cure.

A particular focus for 2012–13 has been our targeted research fund, from which we have awarded five new grants that will make a difference to people with diabetes by overcoming barriers to good diabetes care and supported self-management.

How to use this directory

You can search for projects in this directory based on the type of research involved or the region or institution where they are taking place – why not find out more about the research projects taking place near you and consider supporting them through our Adopt a Project scheme?

To help you decide, we have included information on whether each project is available to adopt and, if it is, how long the project has left to run.

A downloadable version of the research project directory is also available from the right-hand side of the page.
