Measuring the Impact of Your Research
Successful applicants are required to submit regular reports. A final written report in the prescribed format must be submitted within 6 months of the end of the Grant period. A progress report in the form specified by the Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity Research Fund may also be requested from time to time.
