We’re driving research to improve diagnosis, care and development of new treatments, to beat osteoporosis together

Over the past 30 years, the Royal Osteoporosis Society has invested more than £6.5 million in research. In the last four years alone, we've made a record investment of over £1.2 million, including more than £800,000 for 14 new research studies - all made possible through ROS support.

Thank you to all our supporters!

Despite accounting for 9% of the UK’s health burden, osteoporosis and other musculoskeletal conditions receive only 3% of public research funding.

Our research programme is solely dependent on the generosity of our supporters.
