About Us The International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF) is a patient-founded and patient-driven, nonprofit organization that is dedicated to a simple but compelling vision and mission. Our Vision A World without Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM). Our Mission Support and educate everyone affected by Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM) to improve patient outcomes while advancing the search for a cure. Applying for a Research Grant IWMF seeks applications for research and clinical studies that will deliver meaningful therapeutic benefits for Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) patients within the next 3–5 years. Grant amounts range from $250K–$1M over 2–4 years, with a separate award to support young investigators. Working in partnership with our world-class Scientific Advisory Committee, IWMF has developed an updated 2026 Strategic Research Agenda to advance innovative discoveries, support novel clinical trials, and foster collaborations that will continue to revolutionize treatments for WM. IWMF Robert A. Kyle Career Development Award Grant IWMF acknowledges the crucial role of nurturing a new generation of researchers to study Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) and ensure continuous progress in the field.
