Harrington UK Rare Disease Scholar Award
The Harrington Discovery Institute (HDI) has issued a call for proposals in the UK for a new grant award programme to advance promising research into novel treatments for rare diseases. Modelled after its US programmes, HDI is providing UK researchers with the opportunity for funding and personalised discovery and development support. The two-year Harrington Scholar programme includes £100,000 guaranteed, with the potential to qualify for additional acceleration funding up to £500,000. As the funding is philanthropic, all IP will remain with the University PI and this funding can be used in conjunction with additional non-commercial funding for the same project.
The call focuses specifically on novel approaches to treat rare diseases. Of particular interest are discoveries that:
- have a proven genetic basis
- are applicable to paediatric indications and/or
- impact common diseases
