A research fellowship is supported by the Society.
Amelie Waring unfortunately succumbed to an attack of trauma associated acute pancreatitis. Her husband, Mr. Herbert Waring, was determined to improve the understanding and management of the disease, and made a bequest in her name to the Pancreatic Society more than 20 years ago. This Society has utilised the investment expertise of the Digestive Disorders Foundation to ensure that the fund has grown over the years and can now support regular research salaries and laboratory costs. This is a substantial award, specifically for pancreatic research, administered through the charitable organisationCORE (formerly the Digestive Diseases Foundation).
Applications for this grant will open in three years (2014).
