Impact on Research
Finding Cures Starts Here
The Lymphoma Research Foundation is committed to funding the most promising lymphoma researchers and advancing the understanding of the more than 100 different subtypes of lymphoma. The Foundation’s disease-specificity and hyper-focus on finding cures for every type of lymphoma ensure the next generation of cancer researchers dedicate their careers to studying lymphoma, and world-leading lymphoma experts collaborate and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.
The Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) is comprised of 45 world-renowned lymphoma experts, who seek out the most innovative and promising lymphoma research projects to support.

FINDING CURES STARTS HERE
25 Years of Innovation & Progress
1995 was a significant year for the Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF)—it was then that the Foundation realized its dual mission to eradicate lymphoma and to serve those touched by this disease.
Finding cures starts here. Through lymphoma-specific research grants and consortia, Foundation-supported researchers have been involved in many of the most significant lymphoma breakthroughs witnessed in the past quarter-century.
