About Alexander Jansons Myocarditis UK

Alexander Jansons Myocarditis UK, established in 2013 by the family of an 18-year-old who died from undiagnosed myocarditis, is the UK's only charity dedicated to this inflammatory heart disease. Its mission is to combat low awareness, diagnostic challenges, and research gaps by funding better understanding, early detection, prevention, and cure. The charity values advancing medical knowledge, saving lives especially among young people, and operates with a volunteer-led, non-profit ethos. All funds go directly to research or awareness, and the charity maintains neutrality on sensitive issues. This personal origin story and proven impact on national guidelines set it apart from broader health funders.

What Alexander Jansons Myocarditis UK funds

The charity funds highly specific myocarditis-focused projects, including research on causes, biomarkers, genetics, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. It also supports awareness campaigns for medical professionals and the public, NHS guideline development, and dissemination of findings through medical journals. Grants support UK-based academic institutions, hospitals, and NHS trusts with established myocarditis programmes, with an emphasis on England and Wales. The distinctive single focus on myocarditis sets it apart from other health funders.

Who can apply

Funding targets UK-based academic institutions, hospitals, NHS trusts, and universities with established myocarditis programmes. Beneficiaries include young patients and families, at-risk groups, and clinicians. Grants are by invitation only, aligned with the charity's annual strategies, and there are no open application rounds. Applicants must have a proven track record in myocarditis research or awareness work within the UK.

What Alexander Jansons Myocarditis UK doesn't fund

The charity does not fund unrelated health issues, core costs, capacity building, or international work. Its focus is exclusively on myocarditis, so projects outside this specific condition are not considered.
