Research strategy | Grants 2008 | Guidelines

Grant Programme 2008

The National Association for the Relief of Paget’s Disease (NARPD) is a charity which was founded in 1973 to:

1. Offer information and support to those suffering from Paget's Disease
2. Encourage and assist research into the causes and treatments of the disease
3. Raise awareness of the disease among the medical profession and public at large

In order to further these aims the Trustees of the NARPD will fund research projects that:

• Advance understanding of the causes of Paget’s disease and/or provide new insights into management of the disease and the prevention of complications.

For the 2007-2008 funding round, the trustees wish to particularly encourage the submission of applications which address the negative impact that Paget’s disease has on quality of life and the strategies that might be used to address this.

It is expected that research projects will awarded for periods of between 1-3 years. Although there is not formal upper limit for funding, it is unlikely that projects with total value in excess of £100,000 will be able to be supported.

In considering applications for research support the Trustees will take the advice of the Scientific Advisory Committee as to quality and feasibility of the proposed research and its relevance to Paget’s disease. In providing such advice the Scientific Advisory Committee may seek the comments of appropriate external advisers and applicants will be provided with feedback where possible.

Applications should be submitted by email to Marilyn McCallum at director@paget.org.uk on or before the deadline of Wednesday 30th April 2008.
