Research funding schemes
Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity (GOSH Charity) is committed to funding paediatric rare disease research at all points in the translational pathway, from initial seed-funding for discovery research, to long-term translational research programmes. To help us deliver our ambitious funding targets under our research strategy, we've developed several grant schemes which researchers can apply to for funding.
We offer funding schemes for researchers at Great Ormond Street Hospital and UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health, as well as our National Call for researchers across the UK. All applications to our grant schemes are taken through a rigorous and competitive review process to ensure we fund the very best research in rare and complex paediatric disease.
