Purpose of award – to fund translational / clinical research or innovative service delivery projects in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes
Each year the BSPED offers a limited number of small project grants to its members. This year, these grants are intended to:
- Promote and support academic research by its members by providing funding to:
- Obtain preliminary data which will support an external funding application
- Conduct a small project
- Purchase equipment
- Promote and support surveys of rare diseases
- Promote and support surveys of clinical innovations
- Promote and support educational projects
Applications under the remit of 2, 3 or 4 above must have the potential to change practice in paediatric endocrinology and diabetes. This work may benefit patients and families, other health care professionals, schools or other groups. Successful applications are likely to include evidence of input from patients and the public and plans to evaluate the impact of the tool. Proposals that encompass a national survey should clearly demonstrate the clinical question or the problem to be addressed.
This year there will be two BSPED Research and Innovation Awards granted up to a maximum of £15,000 each. The total amount for each grant can be allocated to one recipient or split between 2 or more projects.
DEADLINE for submissions Monday, 4 August 2025, 5pm.
