The Clinical Endocrinology Trust (a charity which derives its income from a profit-share of the Society’s official clinical journal, Clinical Endocrinology) has long supported Endocrine Audit projects within the UK. Recent examples include the UK Acromegaly Database and the CaHASE audit of adults with CAH. The CET has recently awarded funding to the British Thyroid Association to evaluate the iodine status of teenage girls across the UK.

The Trustees now invite further Clinical Endocrine Audit applications from Societies or Endocrine Centres. Preference will be given to projects involving multicentre collaborations. We are particularly interested in receiving applications related to areas of endocrinology the Trust has not supported previously. A sum of £40,000 is available during 2009-2010 for one or more projects judged by the Trustees to be worthy of support: their decision will be final.

Applications should be limited to three A4 sides and structured as follows: Background, Aims, Methods, Funding Justification and References. Applications should be sent to Dr John Bevan (CET Secretary) at: johnbevan@nhs.net by the closing deadline of 30 June 2009.
