Our 2024 Call for Research Proposals is now OPEN. If you are a researcher and would like to apply for a grant, please read the Advice for Researchers page carefully before completing the application form. Please note that we are unable to consider applications from outside the UK unless you are applying from one of the centres we already support. If you have any questions about the process, you can contact us at [email protected].
All research proposals are considered by the Research Steering Committee. The Committee is made up of 17 members, many of whom are well known within the cleft community, and with a wide range of professional interests and experience. For a full list of the Steering Committee members, click here.
We invite researchers to submit high quality proposals for research grants of up to a maximum of £50,000. Proposals should focus on either clinical or basic science questions relevant to CLEFT’s research objectives. We welcome applications for smaller grants. Read more
