The Roger Williams Institute of Liver Studies Pump Prime Research Scheme provides strategic catalytic funding to accelerate transformative advances in hepatology research.

Through targeted support of exceptional early-stage investigations, the scheme facilitates the development of innovative therapeutic and diagnostic approaches that address critical challenges in liver disease.

This structured funding mechanism identifies and nurtures high-potential research concepts that, while falling outside conventional funding parameters, demonstrate clear potential for scientific impact.

By providing preliminary support, the scheme enables promising investigations to establish proof-of-concept and generate compelling preliminary data, ultimately securing substantial external funding for full-scale development and clinical implementation.
