Apply for Funding

The CO Research Trust provides funding to a wide range of charities, voluntary groups, associations, social housing associations, local authorities, statutory organisations, academic bodies, and others that meet our chosen areas of focus. These are;

• To improve the diagnosis of CO poisoning - by finding a new biomarker
• To understand the mechanics of CO poisoning - to improve treatments
• To understand the co-morbidities in vulnerable groups - to develop solutions to mitigate risk
• To measure the scale of CO poisoning in the UK
• To understand the impact of building regulations and energy efficiency on CO safety
• To understand the level of risk in the use of solid fuels
• To improve detection where the risk of CO exposure cannot be eliminated

You can find out more details about these areas of interest in our 2021-25 strategy document or by getting in touch by email to adrian@coresearchtrust.org.

The Trustees intend the application system to be as simple and effective as possible. We appreciate your feedback on this process.
