Description
The W. W. Smith Charitable Trust’s Medical Research program supports basic medical research in heart disease, cancer, and AIDS. It funds defined projects led by individual investigators rather than the general work of research centers. Scientists and research faculty with institutional appointments are encouraged to apply through their associated nonprofit institution in the five-county Greater Philadelphia region or the City of Camden, New Jersey.
The Trust seeks unique, meritorious projects and invests in promising researchers with the potential to attract larger-scale support from funders such as NIH, NSF, and the American Heart Association. Independent medical research advisors peer review proposals and make recommendations to the Trustees. Heart disease, cancer, and AIDS are distinct granting categories, with institutions responsible for selecting their representative investigator and project in each discipline.
