register-of-charities.charitycommission.gov.ukAbout Schottlander Research Charitable Trust
The Schottlander Research Charitable Trust was established in 2015 by the Schottlander family to advance public health and environmental protection through targeted grants for innovative scientific research. Governed by family trustees with strong scientific backgrounds, the Trust emphasises projects that deepen understanding of illness causes, treatments, and prevention, alongside research into sustainable energy resources for natural environment conservation. It acts solely as a non-operational grant-maker, enabling high-impact, novel methodologies with potential for knowledge dissemination and practical change.
What Schottlander Research Charitable Trust funds
The Trust funds specific research projects in two pillars: biomedical studies and sustainable energy or environmental conservation. In biomedical research, it supports work on the causes, treatment, and prevention of illness. In the environmental pillar, it focuses on sustainable energy resources and conservation. Funded work must be based in or benefit England and Wales. The Trust favours projects with potential for translational impact and knowledge dissemination.
Who can apply
The Trust supports universities, academic institutions, and UK-registered charities that are research-active and medium-to-large in scale. Eligible organisations must be based in or benefit England and Wales. The Trust does not accept unsolicited proposals; it works by invitation only. There is no income threshold for applicants, but selectivity targets innovation potential and public benefit.
What Schottlander Research Charitable Trust doesn't fund
The Trust does not fund non-research activities, core costs, unrestricted funding, or projects outside health and environmental research. It avoids generalist causes, emergency relief, and capital builds.
How they like to fund
The Trust operates as a non-operational grant-maker, funding specific research projects rather than providing general support. It does not accept unsolicited proposals; approaches are by invitation only. Grants are awarded for sponsorship, undertaking, or extension of research, with a focus on novel methodologies and practical change.
