Diabetes UK funds diabetes and diabetes-related research through a range of funding schemes.
As well as supporting project grants, equipment grants and small grants Diabetes UK offers funding for research-training opportunities in the form of PhD Studentships and research fellowships aimed at clinicians, scientists and other medical related health professionals at different stages in their careers.
By investing in research projects to explore key research questions, and investing in people, to develop the best diabetes researchers for the future, Diabetes UK aims to improve the lives of people living with diabetes through its wide-ranging research programme.
Research strategy
Research areas
Diabetes UK’s Research Strategy outlines three broad areas that Diabetes UK will support research within:
- Care and treatment
- Cause and prevention
- Cure.
Diabetes UK believes that investment in research in these areas will have the maximum potential to improve the lives of people living with diabetes.
The Diabetes UK Research Strategy sets out the broad focus for Diabetes UK's research for the five-year period from January 2006 to December 2010.
Consultation on the next Diabetes UK Research Strategy began in January 2010.
