About The British Association For The Study Of The Liver

The British Association For The Study Of The Liver (BASL) supports the UK and Ireland liver-disease community through targeted research awards, clinical improvement grants, and disease-specific fellowships. Its funding tends to favor practical projects that improve diagnosis, treatment, service delivery, and patient pathways, alongside a smaller number of research grants in specialist areas such as autoimmune liver disease and viral hepatitis. BASL often works in partnership with other liver charities, foundations, and industry sponsors, which suggests a collaborative, program-specific giving style rather than open-ended philanthropy.

Focus Areas

Liver Disease ResearchAutoimmune Liver DiseaseViral Hepatitis and BBV TestingClinical Service ImprovementOpt-out Testing PilotsPatient Pathway and Linkage-to-Care Projects

Giving Approach

Program-specific grants and awards, often in partnership with other funders; small-to-moderate awards (e.g., £10,000 research grant, up to £2,000 innovation award) with defined annual deadlines and some invite/partnership-based opportunities.

How to approach this funder

Watch the BASL website for annual deadlines and submit to the specific award/program that matches your project theme. Proposals should be tightly aligned to liver-disease priorities, especially autoimmune liver disease, viral hepatitis/BBV testing, or service improvement; collaborative projects and pilot-ready ideas are likely to be strongest.
