How to apply for research funding for PSC research

Mission 2030

By 2030, we will fund and support more PSC research than ever before, offering over £1 million in grants to researchers to:

  • fund PSC studies aligned with our Research Strategy, turning researchers’ ideas into reality;
  • fund 3-4 year PhD clinical fellowships in PSC to help develop the careers of future PSC specialists and to fill the critical gaps in our knowledge about PSC; and
  • support them to set up larger studies and clinical trials.

PSC Support welcomes grant applications for PSC-related research. As a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities, PSC Support employs strict peer review processes to ensure we fund only the highest quality research.

Got a question?

If you have any questions regarding our funding, please get in touch.

Applicants sometimes contact us to ask informally about the appropriateness of their application and seek advice about our remit. Such enquiries are dealt with by charity staff who are not scientific experts and will only advise if an application isn’t suitable for funding when it is clearly outside our remit. Charity staff will not comment on likelihood of securing funding from PSC Support because all applications must go through the independent peer review process prior to any decisions about funding.
