Our
commitment to research
Since its foundation in 1968 The Association has given over £2.5
million in research grants to projects in the UK. Members, in a recent
survey, confirmed that they feel that this is a crucial part of the work
of the Association and we continue to raise funds for this purpose.
We are able to contribute to research in this way thanks to the fundraising
efforts of individual members and Branches over the years as well as major
legacies and large donations.
We believe
the Association has a key role to play in supporting smaller projects
as well as offering grants to projects in the development stage. Such
projects have been able to attract further major funding from other sources
as a result of our early 'pump priming'.
The Association
remains committed to supporting innovative and informative research projects
that will improve the lives of people living with psoriasis. For this
we need to work in partnership with the research community as well as
continuing the appeal for donations.
