The Charterhouse Rheumatism Charity continues the pioneering work of the Charterhouse Rheumatism Clinic founded by Dr Henry Warren Crowe. Established in 1936, the charity is dedicated to relieving financial hardship among those suffering from rheumatism and sponsoring scientific research into its causes, treatment, and rehabilitation, with a strong emphasis on disability and musculoskeletal medicine. With the University of Leeds as its sole corporate trustee, all funding is directed to the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine. The charity's values centre on medical innovation, equity for disadvantaged patients, scientific rigour, and long-term institutional partnership.
What Charterhouse Rheumatism Charity funds
The charity exclusively supports academic research in rheumatology. This includes investigations into fundamental disease mechanisms, clinical interventions, translational studies, and patient-centred rehabilitation innovations. All funding is channelled through strategic grants for endowed chairs, academic posts, and major projects at the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine. The focus is on fostering expertise with national UK relevance for rheumatic and related disabilities. The work supported is limited to this single institute.
Who can apply
Only the University of Leeds, as the sole corporate trustee and academic institution, is eligible to receive funding. All grants are directed to the Leeds Institute of Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Medicine. No external charities, organisations, or individuals qualify. The charity does not accept unsolicited applications; funding is allocated internally through university governance. This narrow remit means only Leeds-based rheumatology academics working within the institute can benefit.
What Charterhouse Rheumatism Charity doesn't fund
The charity does not fund general healthcare, social services, or any fields outside rheumatology and musculoskeletal medicine. It offers no core, unrestricted, capital, or emergency grants. Support is not available for external charities, organisations, or individuals. Applications from outside the University of Leeds or for purposes unrelated to the institute's research are not considered.
How they like to fund
Funding is provided through strategic grants for endowed chairs, academic posts, and major projects. All grants are allocated internally via university governance, and the charity works exclusively with the University of Leeds. Unsolicited applications are not accepted.
