Research award

'The BTF Research Award is critical to improve the lives of people living with thyroid disorders.'
Dr Chris McCabe, consultant endocrinologist

Each year we invite applications for the BTF Research Award. We are keen to support the crucial role that researchers fulfill in providing the best treatment for people with thyroid disorders. 

We also provide two £500 awards to nurses who wish to attend medical conferences or training courses. The funds are designed to cover the costs of registration fees and travel expenses.
