NPUK encourages and promotes scientific and medical research into Niemann-Pick diseases. We want to make it easier for research into Niemann-Pick diseases to take place, and where appropriate, to enable UK patient participation in clinical trials. Due to the expense, expertise and other resources required to conduct research and clinical trials, we focus our activity on enabling and supporting these activities, rather than conducting them ourselves.
The NPUK Board of Trustees will consider applications for research funding as listed below, and will determine the nature of research to be undertaken in consultation with its Research Co-ordinator and Medical Adviser. Where appropriate, guidance will be sought from an external expert scientific advisory board.
