Support life-changing research

Our researchers are urgently seeking solutions to some of the most pressing issues facing our generation and the next. Your support can help Birmingham’s researchers make the breakthroughs we need.

  • Global health

    From personalised cancer treatments to safer surgical outcomes across the globe and reducing maternal mortality. Our researchers are improving the health and wellbeing of people and communities across the world.

    Birmingham is the place to make this research happen. We have the largest clinical trials unit in Europe and have established the Institute of Translational Medicine to bring innovations from the lab to patients as soon as possible.

    Our researchers are diagnosing the destructive impact of climate change and making advancements to ensure a sustainable future for people and planet.

    Made possible by a transformative £15 million gift, the Birmingham Institute of Forest Research (BIFoR) is one of the world's leading authorities on the effects of climate change.

  • Fairer world

    Every two seconds another person has to leave their home to escape war, violence or persecution. It’s difficult to imagine what forces someone to leave their home, friends and everything they own.

    Your support can help our academics understand the challenges traumatised families face and give community groups the knowledge they need to help them find healthcare, education and employment.

    Learn about making a fairer world

The moment we heard about the work of the migration studies team, we were hooked, as protecting people from further violence as they flee from war and persecution at home is such important work. We have made a gift to support this vital work because now is the time for the UK to show how it can help make the world a better place. As the research progresses, we will be working with our friends and networks to help spread the word and increase its impact.
