Philanthropy in Motion
Winter and Spring 2012 issues feature the Irma T. Hirschl Trust, which has been providing grants to early career scientists, including those at NYULMC, since 1972.
Our winter issue features an exemplary model of research funding as well as personally inspired giving toward cardiovascular care, women's health, pediatric services and rehabilitation medicine. Don't miss coverage celebrating last fall's big news, the Hassenfeld Pediatric Center, which will open in 2017.

Leukeia & Lymphoma Society: The Quest for Cures
Deadline: 06/03/2013
Average grant size: $200,000 to $400,000/year over 2 years
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) is proud to announce The Quest For Cures (QFC), a new series of Request for Proposals (RFPs) to identify and develop safer, more effective treatment paradigms for patients with hematological malignancies. This initiative will identify and fund priority research areas, with support from biotech and pharmaceutical partners in order to address significant unmet medical needs. The near-term goal of this program is to advance the scientific and medical understanding of the various hematological malignances. The "Quest For CURES" research topics are aimed to gain a better understanding of the underlying causes leading to failure of current treatments and to identify novel therapeutic targets and ultimately new treatments. The research topic for this first RFP is novel approaches for measuring and monitoring clonal heterogeneity in the clinical setting at both the genomic and epigenetic levels and assessing its contribution to response or resistance to therapy.
Categories: Blood Disorders, Leukemia, Clinical Research, Disease-Specific Research, Hematology, Tumors, Lymphoma, Lymphatic Disease, Chronic Diseases
Audience: Physician Research, Hematologist
Dana Foundation Clinical Neuroscience Research
No Deadline
Average Grant Size: $300,000 over 3 years
Research on brain diseases, as on any disease affecting humans, often proceeds from taking promising results produced in studying an animal model of a disease and applying these results to the first studies in human patients who have that disease. In 2003, Dana began inviting grant proposals for these "first in man" studies involving a few patients with devastating brain disease for which there currently is no effective treatment. Funded researchers set up "controlled clinical studies" in a small number of patients with a specific brain disease, based on promising animal studies suggesting that a specific therapy either treated the condition or prevented it from getting worse. In these controlled clinical studies, the new therapy is tested in some of the patients while the other patients continue to receive currently available treatment. Through this process, clinical researchers determine whether the tested new therapy shows initial promise beyond currently available treatment.
