2. Potential to improve the prognosis and quality of life of people affected by rare conditions.
3. Evidence that funding cannot be suitably obtained elsewhere.
4. Originality and excellence of science.
5. Dissemination of research to the scientific community through publication of results, and to the wider
population through public engagement in line with the aims of the Myrovlytis Trust to bring clinicians,
researchers and patients together to advance the field.
