Your donations and support make a difference to lives of patients, parents and hospital staff every day.

As a result of your continued generosity, we have been able to ensure the highest standard of care and research are available for Ireland's sickest children.

We’re incredibly grateful for your donations and take great care to follow the best practice in managing our funds.

The National Children’s Research Centre (NCRC) - which is entirely supported by donations from CMRF Crumlin – sits at the centre of paediatric research in Ireland and is part of a global network of research tackling childhood diseases. The work of some brilliant scientists, and physician-scientists at the NCRC along with colleagues around the world, has, in recent years, led to life-changing advances in the earlier diagnosis, and better treatment of childhood diseases. NCRC funded researchers have, thanks to the funding received from CMRF Crumlin, made important advances in understanding the scientific mechanisms underlying serious and chronic diseases of childhood such as Leukaemia, Cystic Fibrosis, Ulcerative Colitis, Asthma, Eczema, Cardiac Disease, and Diabetes. The NCRC supports investigator-led research, where doctors taking care of sick children test out new ideas which can improve the care of these children. In this way, NCRC-funded research has produced better approaches to treating severe asthma attack and pain management in the Paediatric Emergency Room. The NCRC also has an important role in training the next generation of research leaders in childhood disease. The MD/Clinical and PhD/MSc programmes, both supported by CMRF Crumlin, has enabled talented and passionate doctors to do research which is totally focused on improving how we tackle childhood disease.
