We work with the UK Government’s two major funding bodies, the Medical Research Council (MRC) and National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) to make type 1 diabetes research a priority.
We also work with government departments, like the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, to help them understand the impact of type 1 diabetes on the UK, and the excellence in research that the UK can provide to the global mission to cure type 1.
We also work with researchers and other funders to create new opportunities for funding, and to understand and address some of the barriers that can slow down research progress in the UK.
