  1. Research

HRCI-HRB Joint Funding Scheme

Arthritis Ireland is a member of Health Research Charities Ireland (HRCI). One of the aims of HRCI is to support charities in Ireland to fund healthcare research to assist them in improving the lives of those they support.

The Health Research Board (HRB) has been co-funding the HRCI-HRB Joint Funding Scheme with the HRCI since 2006. The HRCI-HRB Joint Funding Scheme allows charities to support patient-focused research of particular interest to specific patient groups.

Arthritis Ireland is participating in the HRCI-HRB Joint Funding Scheme in 2021 and will prioritise research projects consistent with our research priorities.

All researchers must submit their applications to Arthritis Ireland directly to be considered for the scheme. The HRB will manage the awards.

Our research priorities

Arthritis Ireland seeks to influence research activities for better treatments, diagnoses and cures.

For this co-funding scheme, we are inviting original, internationally-competitive proposals that are relevant to the research priorities of Arthritis Ireland and align with one or more of the following research areas:

  • Patient-focused research
  • Mechanisms of disease
  • Identification of mechanisms that define early disease, disease progression and response
  • Assessment and impact on QOL
  • Identification of new therapeutic strategies
  • Impact of lifestyle on rheumatic diseases
  • Clinical management of rheumatic diseases

Funding available

Arthritis Ireland is seeking to support projects up to €200,000 over 36 months. However, smaller-scale projects and those less than 36 months duration will also be considered.
