The Desmoid Tumor Research Foundation, Inc. (“DTRF”) funds research that will advance the 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.
DTRF is the only foundation in the country dedicated to facilitating and funding research for a cure for desmoid tumors. We fund research that uses cutting-edge science and creative clinical applications, in addition to novel approaches addressing potential leads based on prior research. Research proposals with additional sources of funding support are particularly desirable. Researchers must be willing to collaborate with other scientists and institutions with similar interests. Grantees must agree to participate as reviewers in DTRF’s future grant review cycle, as well as to present the results of their research at the annual September International DTRF Desmoid Tumor Research Workshop, and to make best efforts to attend the Workshop thereafter. For more information see www.dtrf.org.
