HOW WE FUND RESEARCH
Our support for ground-breaking research studies is funded entirely by voluntary donations.
Projects must correlate with priorities outlines in our research strategy in order to be considered for funding and any grants we give must directly advance our purpose to create a better life for everyone affected by PSP & CBD.
WE ARE A MEMBER OF AMRC
Our application for funding and peer review processes comply with the standards set out by the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC).
We ensure all applications for funding over £25,000 are externally peer reviewed and adhere to clear guidance on conflicts of interest. Further information on PSPA’s application process can be requested from our Research Coordinator and current funding opportunities will appear on our Funding Opportunities page.
We do not currently fund research using animals. However, as a member of AMRC we support the principle of using animals in research when it is necessary to advance understanding of health and disease and to develop new treatments. This research only takes place where there is no alternative available. All AMRC member charities support this principle, as outlined in this statement –Â AMRC position statement on the use of animals in research.
Our Board of Trustees has ultimate responsibility for the allocation of research funds and takes advice from the Research Committee before making a final decision on which projects to support.
Your donations will help us continue to fund vital research to bring us closer to effective treatments for PSP & CBD. Read about some of the projects we are already committed to supporting.
