Many research projects across Newcastle Hospitals are supported by charitable funds.
This money usually supports the set-up of a project. It allows researchers to build up data and information to help access more substantial funding from other sources.
New cures, drugs and treatments
Charity funding for research projects is vital – it can lead to direct improvements in treatment and healthcare. Without it, many projects which go on to provide new cures, drugs, treatments or diagnostics would not be possible.
Whether charities continue to support research projects depends on the availability of funds. Donations allow a wider range of projects to be supported.
