For Researchers

Ataxia UK aims to support ataxia researchers in a variety of ways. We provide funding, help to recruit participants with ataxia to studies, facilitate research and provide resources and information about ataxia research developments.

We can also provide advice, and act as a link between researchers and people with ataxia. We host and support research conferences, such as the International Congress for Ataxia Research (ICAR).

ICAR 2024 will take place in the UK on November 12-15, 2024. To read about ICAR 2024, click here.
