On July 17th,The latest Request for Proposals (RFP) was sent to nearly 300 WM researchers around the world. The RFP is a result of the ongoing collaborative endeavor between the IWMF and LLS that began in 2015 with the development of the IWMF-LLS Strategic Research Roadmap Initiative. The initiative identified focus areas for future research efforts in order to accelerate our search for a cure for WM. A Request for Proposals has been issued each year since 2015 to attract and fund new global projects.
RFP applications are due by February 26, 2025, with scientific review of applications to be completed in March-April 2025. Announcement of the next awards will be in May-June 2025, and funding for approved proposals is anticipated to begin July 1, 2025 to February 26, 2026.
See IWMF’s Research Strategy (on the IWMF website) for more details about the Roadmap Initiative and the resulting RFPs. If you want information about how you can support the RFP and enable us to fund more research in our quest for a cure, contact Newton Guerin at nguerin@iwmf.com.
