The Jefferiss Research Trust
Key takeaways
- The trust's registered purpose is education and research into zoonotic and emerging infectious diseases and sexually transmitted infections, so work that fits that remit and links to making results public is the kind to check against it.
- Its registered area of operation is throughout England and Wales, but no geographic focus is stated, so nothing in the register limits which organisations may apply.
- The register gives no grant range or annual giving figure, and no published way to apply was found, so a short enquiry to the trust before sending a full request is the sensible first step.
- The trust also sponsors or undertakes research itself, so outside grants may be only part of what it does.
