Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity has announced their 2026/27national funding call in child health research. Under this funding call £2.5M is available to support eligible child health research project grant applications from researchers across the UK. The project budget for individual proposals is £350,000 and we are delighted that this year, Myotubular Trust is again included in the four rare disease charities partnering with the GOSH charity.
Remit of the National Research Project Grants
GOSH Charity is inviting project grant applications for paediatric health research studies focusing on complex or rare diseases. The call will support research across the spectrum of medical conditions affecting the foetus, neonates, and children directly, as well as pregnancy disorders that affect the child.
Within this call they are specifically asking for applications that aim to significantly advance the search to find a cure and/or a treatment for any of the genetic forms of centronuclear and myotubular myopathy, and studies that would increase an understanding of liver abnormalities in the condition.
All projects must aim to improve understanding of the disease or associated conditions or to improve outcomes for the affected child. Proposals will be expected to have the potential to lead to new medical developments or improved healthcare (e.g. diagnostic tools or novel interventions) through laboratory and/or clinically based research. Qualitative and mixed-methods research projects, including healthcare management for specific childhood diseases/conditions or groups of closely related conditions, are also welcomed. Applicants must clearly articulate the route to clinical application and/or potential for patient benefit, regardless of where their proposed studies are positioned along the basic-to-applied research continuum.
The deadline for submission of outline applications is Thursday, 16th July 2026 at 3 PM.
We are proud to be part of a partnership with this world renowned charity which has done so much to further the health of children, and we thank all our donors and fundraisers who make it possible for us to be part of such a partnership. See here for more information.
