CALL FOR RESEARCH GRANTS
Application Form
The Paget’s Association formerly known as The National Association for the Relief of Paget’s Disease (NARPD) is a charity which was founded in 1973 to:
- Offer information and support to those suffering from Paget's Disease
- Encourage and assist research into the causes and treatments of the disease
- Raise awareness of the disease among the medical profession and public at large
In order to further these aims the Trustees of The Paget’s Association 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 2011/2012 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 no 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 Science & Research Committee as to quality and feasibility of the proposed research and its relevance to Paget’s disease. In providing such advice the Science & Research Committee will seek the comments of appropriate external advisers and applicants will be provided with feedback where possible. An important part of this process is the role of lay-people in the decision making regarding the relevance to the Association’s objects of the grants awarded. As a result Section 2 of the form relating to a lay explanation of the application is a vital part of the decision making process.
Applications should be submitted by e-mail to Marilyn McCallum at director@paget.org.uk on or before the deadline of Friday 30th March 2012.
