Mission & Focus Areas
The Foundation says it funds research across lymphoma subtypes, supports early-career scientists, and seeks to advance understanding of lymphoma and improve treatment. Its Scientific Advisory Board guides research activities and reviews grant proposals. The Foundation also facilitates scientific collaboration through consortia and workshops.
Its grant programs include the Clinical Investigator Career Development Award, Postdoctoral Fellowship Grant, Lymphoma Scientific Research Mentoring Program, and disease-focus area grants. The Foundation’s website describes its mentoring program as providing education and career-development support to early-career investigators. That program also provides Scholars with a $10,000 professional-development grant; this is support for program participants, not an outside-applicant grant program.
The Foundation has awarded grants to institutions including Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, whose stated mission includes advancing science, medicine, and health care; the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, which describes a public-service mission that includes research and patient care; and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, whose stated mission includes cancer prevention, treatment, and cure. These are the grantees’ own mission statements.
Grantmaking
In 2023, the Foundation reported $4,745,000 in grants across 18 grants, an average of about $263,611 per grant. Notable 2023 awards included $750,000 to Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, $330,000 to the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania, $235,000 to Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, $225,000 to Northwestern University, and $105,000 to Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope.
The Foundation’s website says grant applications are reviewed by experts, with the Scientific Advisory Board guiding the review and recommending proposals to the Board of Directors. The board considers and approves grants. The 2023 filing narrative says the Foundation and its Scientific Advisory Board review grantees’ progress annually against deliverables and approve continuation of payments. Program descriptions list a $195,000 total award over three years for Postdoctoral Fellowships and a $375,000 total award over three years for the Clinical Investigator Career Development Award.
