myaware.orgAbout Myaware
Myaware is the UK charity dedicated exclusively to people living with myasthenia, a group of rare neuromuscular conditions. Established by those affected by the condition, the charity works to improve lives through support, awareness, and funding research. Their approach is patient-led, compassionate, and collaborative, prioritising lived experience and evidence-based work alongside clinicians. They fund research that improves understanding of the biological pathways linked to myasthenia and how the condition affects daily life. Their work benefits people living with myasthenia, their families, and carers across the UK. Myaware's sole focus on all forms of myasthenia, from myasthenia gravis to congenital and ocular types, makes it distinctive.
What Myaware funds
Myaware funds research into myasthenia, a group of rare neuromuscular conditions. They support projects that aim to improve collective understanding of the biological pathways linked to myasthenia and how it affects the lives of people living with the condition. Supported work includes both short and long-term studies based at universities, hospital trusts, and research conducted by healthcare professionals. The charity's focus covers all forms of myasthenia, including myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenia, and ocular myasthenia. Beneficiaries are people with myasthenia, their families, and carers across the UK. Beyond research, Myaware also provides support services and raises awareness, but its grant-making is exclusively for research into this condition.
Who can apply
Myaware invites applications from UK-based universities, hospital trusts, and healthcare professionals conducting research. The charity funds research that directly benefits people living with myasthenia, their families, and carers. Applicants must be conducting research focused on myasthenia. The charity's patient-led ethos means they value projects that consider lived experience. There is no restriction on religious affiliation. Organisations applying should have expertise in myasthenia research. The charity accepts proposals from academic and clinical research teams.
What Myaware doesn't fund
Myaware does not fund work outside the area of myasthenia. They do not support general charity projects, unrestricted funding, or research unrelated to the condition. The charity's resources are tightly aimed at advancing research and support for the myasthenia community. They do not fund capital projects, equipment, or service delivery costs.
How they like to fund
Myaware accepts funding proposals all year round instead of issuing fixed funding calls. Funding is offered for both short and long-term research projects. The charity supports one-off research grants rather than ongoing core funding. They work with academic and clinical partners, inviting unsolicited applications from eligible organisations.
