A new @IPPR study reveals the severe deficit that existed (pre-pandemic) in research funding for conditions like cardiovascular disease and mental health. @TheBHF has long worked to fill that gap - we currently support £446 million of research at 47 institutions across the UK. https://twitter.com/guardian/status/1289542518493913088
Covid-19 threatens this investment. @IPPR Chris Thomas states, “It’s always surprising just how much of the UK’s research spend comes from the charity sector. If the government isn’t coming in and helping out in some of these conditions, then you really do wonder who will be.”
@TheBHF joined @AMRC and others in calling for Government to buttress R&D while we recover. Cardiovascular science is in jeopardy - at a time where research is needed more than ever, the R&D sector cannot afford to stall.
