Supporting promising researchers
One of our primary funding priorities is to support promising early career researchers, enabling them to establish themselves and compete for larger grants.
Agile and flexible funding
With a lean structure and a longstanding and close working relationship with Guy’s hospital, The Generation Trust is able to respond rapidly to requests for funding.
High impact funding
In addition to direct support, our grants act as a catalyst for securing major institutional and government funding
A Strategic Investor in Genomic Medicine
Founded in 1983 at Guy’s Hospital to pioneer genetic research into paediatric conditions, The Generation Trust has evolved alongside the contemporary genomics revolution. Today, as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), we operate as a strategic partner to the Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics at King’s College London.
Our mission is to facilitate the full trajectory of innovation in genomic medicine. We aim to provide the strategic capital needed to support the entire research ecosystem, spanning the initial identification of genetic mechanisms to the implementation of precision clinical tools. We aim to ensure that high-impact science is supported at every stage of its development.
