British Thyroid Foundation Awards

The British Thyroid Foundation invites applications each year to its two funding streams, the Evelyn Ashley Smith Awards for Nurses and the Research Award.

The two Nurse awards consist of up to £500 to help cover conference/training expenses, including registration fees and /or travel costs, and/or (you may apply to both) £1000 to help support a specific project lasting one year; support an on-going project; or reward a piece of work already completed, but not yet published. The deadline for these awards is 1 July 2013.

The Research Award consists of up to £20,000 to support medical research projects directed to the study of thyroid disorders or investigations into the basic understanding of thyroid function. Studies funded through this funding stream are eligible for inclusion in the NIHR Clinical Research Network Portfolio and therefore able to access NHS support via the NIHR Clinical Research Network infrastructure. The deadline for these awards is 31 August 2013.
