Research grants

The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign considers applications for research funding in accordance with its research strategy. This includes research into more than 60 different types of muscle disease. We support project grants for up to three years and recently extended this to PhD studentships to encourage young scientist to enter the field of muscle research.

The charity has an application process is in place that involves a rigorous peer review so that only the best research is funded.

This also ensures that the research is:

in line with current trends
avoids duplication of international efforts
will significantly increase the understanding of muscle function
will guarantee a speedy bench-to-bedside transition of promising technology
