2023 DTRF-funded Research Grants
Each year, with the guidance of our Grant Review Board, the DTRF awards grants for promising desmoid tumor research projects. These are 1 to 3-year grants and include early-career and more advanced investigators. The DTRF funds research that will advance current scientific knowledge about desmoid tumors, moving toward the development of new treatment options and bringing us closer to our ultimate goal of a cure for each and every patient.
The Foundation is particularly interested in innovative and translational research projects and will consider applications across the spectrum of research from basic science to clinical trials and correlative studies.
