Bay Area Lyme Foundation Grant

The Bay Area Lyme Foundation Grant supports innovative research aimed at improving diagnostics and treatments for Lyme disease. With a revised granting schedule, proposals can be submitted year-round, with reviews conducted three times annually. The foundation welcomes applications from universities, hospitals, and independent entities across the U.S., emphasizing the importance of addressing challenges in diagnosing and treating Lyme disease, especially for difficult cases.

Overview
Bay Area Lyme Foundation has moved to a revised granting timeline. While we will still accept grant proposals on a rolling basis year round (as in the past), we will now review grants, other than the Emerging Leader Awards (ELA), at three times per year.
Awardees are evaluated on their concepts, ideas, methods, and resourcefulness in bringing new vision into the field of Lyme disease research.
Grant recipients do not need to have previous experience in Lyme disease research. Every year, we fund researchers who, while respected in their scientific areas of focus, have never previously leveraged their knowledge and abilities for research in Lyme disease.

Eligibility

We accept applications from universities, hospitals, and independent research entities all over the United States.

Ineligibility

We cannot accept research proposals from outside the U.S.We do not fund tuition or travel costs unless Bay Area Lyme Foundation invites the researchers to present results.
