We are delighted to announce that we have awarded ten new Research Ignition Awards, the Kennedy Trust’s inaugural pump-priming grant scheme designed to enable researchers to build ambitious programmes of research. 

The research themes cover diverse areas, including osteoarthritic pain, mechanisms of autoinflammation and the role of dietary bioactive molecules in arthritis. 

We would like to congratulate our first recipients for securing this new funding in a highly competitive round and we will be announcing the further details of the awards in due course.
