Research Projects
We pride ourselves on our all-volunteer effort that permits us to contribute virtually all net funds raised to basic research projects. We focus on proposals that have a high probability of attracting matching funds and governmental grants, and that can lead to clinical trials and FDA approvals for new treatments.
