Advancing Research
Research is Key in the Fight Against Lymphoma
Research is in our name—and at the heart of everything we do. Our funding, support, and people have been instrumental in driving some of the most significant innovations in treating lymphoma. For us, research is the beginning of a cure.
Since its inception, the Foundation has made significant contributions to the lymphoma research enterprise, awarding over 500 research grants totaling more than $82.7 million. The Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), comprised of 45 world-renowned lymphoma experts, guides the Foundation’s research activities, seeking out the most innovative and promising lymphoma research projects for support. We help to ensure that the best and brightest scientific minds can continue their commitment to blood cancer research.
Through an aggressively-funded program we award grants to researchers at all stages of their careers.
Scientific Workshops and Initiatives
Our consortia, research initiatives, and scientific workshops, mobilize the research community to address challenges and advance research.
We announce requests for proposals (RFP’s) for our research grant awards on a regular basis each year.
