| We launched our first research strategy in 2006 which set out the broad focus for our research from June 2006 to December 2009. The strategy focused our research effort on maximising the benefit to people with osteoporosis and communicating the outcomes to those who support the Charity. The key principles guiding the Charity’s research agenda are scientific excellence and relevance to people with, or at risk of, osteoporosis. We have reviewed the research strategy, with input from our scientific advisors and updated it for 2010 -2014. The general direction of the Charity’s research agenda has not changed. The current review has updated the existing strategy, streamlined ideas, incorporated the research pillar of the Charity’s strategic plan and developed some new initiatives and approaches. The research strategy will be supported by a separate research priorities document, which is not part of this consultation. We would value your thoughts on this new strategy and are inviting comment from the public, health professionals and scientists. You can download the consultation documents from www.nos.org.uk/research If you have any questions about the consultation process or the research grants programme please contact us at research@nos.org.uk.

Sarah,
Thank you for your interest in the Charity's research programme. However the consultation closed in 2010 and the strategy was launched late last year.
You can read the full Research Strategy at www.nos.org.uk/research under what we fund.
Best wishes
Claire.
