Endometriosis: Research
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what active funding streams are focused on research into endometriosis.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Department commissions research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). The NIHR supports research with a focus on endometriosis through a range of funding streams. For example, the Health Technology Assessment Programme is currently considering applications submitted to a call for research into pain management programmes for endometriosis. Details of successful funding awards will be published on the NIHR website later this year.
In addition, the NIHR is currently funding two doctoral fellowships with relevance to endometriosis, thus supporting the pipeline of researchers with expertise in women’s health issues.
The NIHR continues to welcome funding applications for research into any area of women’s health, including endometriosis.
