Para 1.17 and 1.19	During the 2021/2022 year the charity focused on makingsmall research grant awardsto support studentqualitative research projects on diabetes/CVD care in ethnically diverse populations. Qualitative methods could further benefit our understanding of the human experience of diabetes and interventions to address it, especially in ethnically diverse communities. However, research suggest there has been limited use of qualitative

			methods in diabetes research over the past 30 years. Thus, the charity aimed to support student qualitative dissertations (UGR, PGR) that address patient experience and diabetes management. Qualitative methods can provide important insights about socio- cultural aspects of diabetes to improve disease management. Small Grant Award Each student would receive up to £100 which can be used to pay a few (e.g.,10 to 20) individuals to participate in one-to-one interviews and/or one or more focus group sessions (online or face-to-face). The money could also be used for other light expenses, such as covering transportation (e.g., petrol, bus, train) costs to conduct interviews/focus groups outside LJMU premises, paying some interviewees to participate in follow-up feedback/verification, or even buying a few refreshments to facilitate a small focus group. Eligibility Funding was available for up tofourLJMU (Liverpool John Moores University) students, each of whom can be awarded up to £100. To be eligible students must meet the following eligibility criteria. a. Be a student at LJMU b.
