As we enter the final stretch of the year, we’re proud to share some of the incredible results we’ve seen to-date across our research programs as well as our ongoing efforts to support investigators in the field of Immunology! We hope you enjoy reading September’s Updates from the Lab.
Translational Research Program
Final review and consideration for Cycle 10 of our Translational Research program will be taking place in the coming weeks! Since the start of the Translational Research program, we have awarded $3,110,000 in grants to investigators researching potential advances in clinical recognition, diagnostic tools, and innovative therapies that will impact overall health outcomes and improve the quality of life of patients living with Primary Immunodeficiency.
Specific Defect
We have awarded 39 Specific Defect grants to date, totaling $1,782,136 in funding. Investigators researching the mechanisms and presentation of specific defects of the immune system will gain access to our international database throughout collaboration efforts.
c.h.i.l.d.r.e.n!
We encourage physicians investigating immunological disorders, infectious disease, and initiatives to decrease infant mortality to apply throughout the year for our c.h.i.l.d.r.e.n! research program. To date, JMF has awarded 25 c.h.i.l.d.r.e.n! grants, totaling $980,057.
