Climb Research grants

Climb (Children living with inherited metabolic diseases) are inviting applications for their 2012/2013 round of research grants. Applications relating to inherited metabolic diseases in the areas of amino acid and urea cycle disorders or purine, pyrimidine and porphyrias are particularly welcome.

Initially, applicants should submit a brief summary of their proposed project to reach Climb by 1 October 2011. The summary is to include outline costings and timeframe. This outline will be used only to establish whether the project falls within Climb's criteria. Where the proposed project falls within Climb's remit for funding research, the applicant will be asked to complete a full, detailed application form. Grants are likely to be up to a maximum of £15,000 and Climb is unlikely to fund salaries at a senior level.
