Mathers Foundation Grant 

The Mathers Foundation primarily supports basic science, ideally with potential translational applications. Examples of current research areas of support include immunology, microbiome, structural biology, cellular physiology, cancer biology, genetics, genomics, microbiology and infectious diseases, stem cell biology, and neuroscience. In general, the Mathers Foundation looks for innovative, novel proposals, which have scientific merit with an established published proof of concept, and which may not be fundable at the federal level.  

For more information about this opportunity, please contact Evan Havard with University Foundation/Corporate Relations.
