Research Grants
Research Strategy
In 2005, the Trustees reviewed Meningitis UK's Research Strategy and agreed to focus solely on the development of vaccines to protect against meningococcal and pneumococcal infection.
The aim over the next three-year period (2006-2009) is to fund good-quality, innovative, high-risk research undertaken by scientists based in the UK (no applications from overseas will be accepted).
