SUDC Research
Since public launch in 2018, SUDC UK has funded over £700,000 of medical research and continues to work tirelessly to help make SUDC predictable and preventable.
SUDC UK supports research in 3 ways:
- SUDC UK awards medical research grants to fund excellent research. This is a core part of our mission and where we spend most of our funds.
- Leads and collaborates to drive engagement in SUDC research, optimise data collection and influence policy that impacts research.
- Family referrals to research projects to support individuals, improve care for bereaved families and prevent future sudden child deaths.
SUDC UK is an introductory member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) and follows its best practice standards for expert review, ensuring that decisions on research funding are made in a fair and transparent way.
