Applying for a research grant

There will be no research grants round in 2011-12

Meningitis Research Foundation's research budget is fully committed for the present and we will not be holding a research grants round in 2011-12. The charity has substantial financial commitments to 16 existing projects in 2011. We anticipate opening our next research grant round in September 2012, and an announcement will be made at that time.

We generally hold one grant round per year, for project grants. The charity awards project grants of up to a maximum of £150,000 per year for up to 5 years. As a guideline, the majority of grants awarded are in the region of £70,000 - £100,000 per year for up to three years, with a number of small grants of up to £30,000 per year also meeting success.

Our research strategy prioritises prevention, diagnosis and treatment of meningitis and septicaemia.
