Our memberships and partnerships
Association of Medical Research Charities
Borne is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) We agree with our sector’s principles and position on:
- awarding grants through open competition with external peer review;
- the management of any conflicts of interest in the funding of medical research;
- our support of research in universities;
- and our position on using animals in research.
We believe in a bench-to-bedside approach to our translational research and support the AMRC’s position on research and innovation in the NHS. We ensure ideas and discoveries translate into new treatments and services that benefit patients.

Pregnancy & Baby Charities Network
Borne is a member of the Pregnancy & Baby Charities Network, an advocacy group which aims to:
- Reduce the number of babies who die during pregnancy, birth or in the early weeks of life.
- Reduce morbidity in newborn babies and improve care for babies and their parents.
