The National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) has funded or supported studies into endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). No specific assessment of the funding allocated to these conditions has been made. However, the NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including endometriosis and PCOS. While it is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions, the NIHR’s funding is available through open competition and we encourage researchers to submit applications in this area.
