An introduction to Research

Children’s Liver Disease Foundation is making available £200,000 for research to start in June 2010.

A key aspect of CLDF’s work is funding medical (basic and clinical), nursing and social research connected with addressing the basic mechanisms, causes, prevention, diagnosis, cure and treatment of diseases of the liver and biliary system in children.
For over 25 years, CLDF has remained committed to research and has achieved an impressive track record. Further information on CLDF’s research strategy and past projects funded by CLDF can be found on this page. CLDF plays a pivotal role in supporting the paediatric research base in the UK, which is poorly funded by research bodies and not seen as a priority area for the government. CLDF’s research programme is vital, as is the lobbying of other bodies to make paediatric hepatology research a higher priority. 
The programme is limited by the funds which are available and CLDF relies largely on the support of families and supporters to continue this research. To make a real impact CLDF recognises that an annual spend of at least £500,000 on medical research is an important target.
