Grants awarded

Deafness Research UK has concentrated on its unique aims by awarding grants to research teams at hospitals and universities nationwide.

Applications are assessed by scientific and medical advisers, often in consultation with independent reviewers. This rigorous scrutiny enables us to make the most efficient use of scarce funds. It underpins the charity's commitment to excellence and its determination to transform good ideas which promise a better life for deaf and hearing-impaired people, into reality.
