2019年2月研究通讯

欢迎to the February edition of our research newsletter.

Versus Arthritis is committed to building a compelling future for musculoskeletal research in the UK. Our live research investment of almost £150m (the total value of grants currently active in our portfolio) is at its highest level in over a decade, and we’ve seen impact of this investment across basic, clinical and applied research.

当我们进入2019年时，我们将目光投向了新的视野，并正在不断适应和建立我们的国家研究资金方法。我们在与关节炎的人一起工作和与之合作的所有事情都雄心勃勃。我们正在通过提供支持，为关节炎提供适当认可的竞选活动来做到这一点，并继续支持创新研究。

我们的最终目标是通过res藐视关节炎earch and in the coming year we are focusing our efforts on:

• building a compelling case for a significant increase in the national musculoskeletal research investment
• ensuring that the impacts and opportunities from our current research portfolio are fully realised
• embedding our new approach for ambitious investment through influence and partnership, spearheading large scale investments in key areas including pain and translational medicine
• 支持国家肌肉骨骼研究领导和人才的增长
• telling our story: bringing the research stimulated by the charity to life, helping people with arthritis to gain recognition
• 确保每个患有关节炎的人都有机会参与，参与或塑造影响他们的研究
• 通过患者洞察力和研究人员的专业知识和建议来制定新的战略重点

This is a truly ambitious challenge ultimately aimed at transforming the landscape and providing new opportunities for the musculoskeletal research community.

In the coming year, our research investment will include new Pain and Cure challenge awards and a range of new fellowships as part of planned £27 million of new grants commitments. While prioritising our activities to focus on making significant progress towards the goals outlined above, we’ll continue to open career support funding programmes and anticipate additional targeted funding activity later in the year, although we aren’t scheduling further new major funding calls in 2019. Specifically, the ‘Stacking the Odds towards a Cure’ and ‘Pushing Frontiers in Health Research’ funding challenges will not open for new applications. As always, we will publish details of all available opportunities on我们的网站, including this year our fellowship and PhD schemes and partnership grants.

We look forward to working with the research community, people with musculoskeletal conditions and our funding partners towards an exciting future for musculoskeletal research in the UK.

In this edition, you can find out more about our funding opportunities aimed at developing the future leaders of musculoskeletal research, as well as how we can support you to involve people with arthritis in your work.

We’ll shortly be inviting applications to join our newly established Research Advisory Groups, which will interface between our research activities and the patient, scientific and clinical communities. These groups will gather insight from basic and translational scientists as well as clinical and applied researchers, practitioners and trainees, to provide insight on key issues and opportunities to develop and influence research investment. Look out for more information coming soon.
