Welcome to the Action Medical Research Grant Management System

The aim of the charity is to prevent and treat disease and disability by funding vital medical research in hospitals or research institutions across the UK.

The remit focuses on child health to include problems affecting pregnancy, childbirth, babies, children and young people. 

Within child health, we support a broad spectrum of research with the objective of preventing and treating disease and disability.

Please note that our emphasis is on clinical research or research at the interface between clinical and basic science.  We pride ourselves that our research is both innovative and of a high standard as judged by rigorous peer review.

Within the above criteria, we also support research and development of equipment and techniques to improve diagnosis, therapy and assistive technology (including orthoses, prostheses and aids to daily living) and we encourage applications in the field of medical engineering.
