Crohn's & Colitis UK
About This Funder
Crohn's & Colitis UK is the UK's leading charity, founded in 1979, dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by Crohn's Disease, Ulcerative Colitis, and other Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) through support, information, awareness-raising, advocacy, and research promotion.
They fund targeted research projects, including pilot and feasibility studies, laboratory research, PhD studentships, and service evaluations, emphasizing evidence-based approaches to advance IBD understanding, treatment, and care. Grants cover direct costs like justified salaries, materials, and lab services over up to three years, but exclude core funding, unrestricted support, or non-essential capital equipment.
Eligible applicants are UK-based academic institutions, universities, research institutes, and NHS settings; commercial organizations are not accepted, with no income thresholds or religious restrictions.
Typical grants range from £50,000 to £250,000. They welcome unsolicited applications via an annual two-stage process on the Flexigrant portal: submit an outline (Expression of Interest) by 17 March 2025, with shortlisted projects invited for full peer-reviewed proposals.
