Research Grant ApplicationResearch Grant Program
THE CHILDREN'S LEUKEMIA RESEARCH ASSOCIATION, INC. (a.k.a. National Leukemia Research Association) was founded in 1965 as a not-for-profit organization dedicated to raising funds to support research efforts towards finding the causes and cure for leukemia. We also provide patient aid to those families in need to help lessen their burden of meeting expenses incurred in treating the disease. The Association is a voluntary agency, which is totally supported by public contributions.
SUMMARY OF
THE
CLRA RESEARCH GRANT PROGRAM
Each year, CLRA's Medical Advisory Committee, consisting of prominent internationally known and respected hematologists, reviews submitted research proposals from doctors nationwide.
Using your dollars from contributions, we fund research grants for promising doctors who are conducting the most promising research into leukemia, in the hopes of isolating the causes, and finding a cure for this dread disease.
The objectives of this committee are to direct the funds of the Association into the most promising projects, and where funding would not duplicate other funding sources.
With your help, we are getting closer every day! Because of the support of friends like you, the scientific community is making incredible strides in developing chemotherapy regimens that are extending the lives of leukemia patients. Not everyone under treatment goes into remission. But our research grants are funding the examinations into why this is so, and how we can continue to combat leukemia.
How the CLRA Research Grant Program Works
1.
1. Any doctor at the Ph.D. or MD level who
is involved in research towards finding the causes and cure for leukemia
may apply.
Simply download an
application, or call or write to us for one.
2.
Please submit an original and three copies
of your application prior to June 30th of each year. It is then reviewed by
our Medical Advisory Committee. A
decision is made by the
following calendar year.
