• AMEND wishes to support research and is provides grants when funds allow to enable medical researchers to supplement an existing project or pump-prime new research ideas. The successful projects must be specifically directed to the study of endocrine tumours, usually within the context of multiple endocrine neoplasia.  Awards are currently only available to projects carried out within the United Kingdom and Eire.  Grants are usually to the value of £10,000 each, although larger amounts have been awarded.

    The Nick Fayers Award for MEN1 Research forms part of the annual grants programme.  It was set up in memory of the late Nick Fayers who had MEN1, and whose friends and family raised £100,000 for AMEND in 2018/19.  These grants are available until further notice for one or more research projects directly related to MEN1 tumours.

    ACC Support UK Awards may be granted for projects related to adrenocortical cancer if funds allow.

     

    The 2019 Research Fund Award Round is now closed. Next round deadline will be in April 2020
