Thank you for your interest in applying for research funding from the Ménière’s Society. Further information about how to apply is detailed below. If you have any questions, or would like any additional information about applying for a research grant, please contact us. 

What do we fund?

Bursary, travel / training or equipment grants

Applicants should apply in writing, giving details of the amount of funding requested, the purpose of the funding (training, travel, etc) and how it will be of benefit to you and those affected by vestibular disorders. The application will be put to the Society’s Trustees for decision and is usually made at the quarterly meeting following receipt of the application. 

Small grants up to £11,999

Applicants should complete the grant application form. A decision will usually be made at the meeting, although peer review may be required for certain projects.

Research grants £12,000+

Applicants should complete the grant application form. All applications will be subject to peer review to ensure they meet the Society's criteria. A decision will usually be made within three to six months following receipt of the application. 

For large grant requests, applicants should, in the first instance, submit a preliminary proposal, not exceeding two sides of A4, giving an outline of objectives and likely cost to establish whether the project meets the Ménière’s Society criteria and to confirm the Society has available funds to support the project. Projects will be considered by the Trustees of the Ménière’s Society and eligible applicants will be invited to submit a full application. If the project does not meet the aims of the Ménière’s Society or where demand on our funds is high, we may be unable to request an application from you. Applicants should complete the grant application form. Full proposals will be subject to peer review and are likely to take six months from submission to decision.

How to apply

All applications are submitted to the Society's Trustees for decision. Trustees meet four times a year. Please send your application by email to: research@menieres.org.uk
