In a letter dated 20 January 2012 to all BOHRF supporters, Chair of BOHRF Trustees, Sir Bill Callaghan, announced:

"It will come as no surprise that in the current economic climate the trustees have concluded that we do not have the level of financial sponsorship to take on any new research projects. This means that in 2012 BOHRF will start to wind down its activities. We have eight projects in the pipeline that BOHRF has agreed to fund."
