Specific Defect Research Program
Funds research on the mechanisms and clinical presentation of specific immune system defects, offering access to a global patient database for collaborative immunology studies.
Funder: Jeffrey Modell Foundation
Due Dates: Rolling (applications accepted any time) | Quarterly review deadlines
Funding Amounts: Up to $50,000 total per project over 2 years (max $25,000/year); direct costs only, no overhead
Summary: Supports research on mechanisms and clinical presentation of specific immune system defects, with access to a global patient database for collaborative studies.
Description
This program funds innovative research aimed at understanding the mechanisms and clinical presentations of specific immune system defects and their impact on health outcomes. Grantees benefit from access to a global database of over 265,000 patients with diverse genotypes, facilitating international collaboration and data sharing. The initiative, in partnership with the Jeffrey Modell Foundation, encourages novel investigations that advance immunological knowledge and foster joint research efforts worldwide.
