IWMF Translational Research Grants

The International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation
Private
US $500,000 - US $750,000

About Us

The International Waldenstrom’s Macroglobulinemia Foundation (IWMF) is a patient-founded and patient-driven, nonprofit organization that is dedicated to a simple but compelling vision and mission.

Our Vision

A World without Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM).

Our Mission

Support and educate everyone affected by Waldenstrom’s macroglobulinemia (WM) to improve patient outcomes while advancing the search for a cure.

Applying for a Research Grant

IWMF seeks applications for research and clinical studies that will deliver meaningful therapeutic benefits for Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) patients within the next 3–5 years. Grant amounts range from $250K–$1M over 2–4 years, with a separate award to support young investigators.

Working in partnership with our world-class Scientific Advisory Committee, IWMF has developed an updated 2026 Strategic Research Agenda to advance innovative discoveries, support novel clinical trials, and foster collaborations that will continue to revolutionize treatments for WM.

IWMF Translational Research Grants

IWMF seeks to support translational research studies with a focus on 1) uncovering new features of Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) biology and cellular vulnerabilities; 2) investigating mechanisms of WM relapse and therapy resistance; and 3) identifying and advancing research on therapeutically novel, therapeutically exploitable targets that represent under-explored opportunities. Such foundational studies should be focused on translational potential and ultimately be driven by the goals of improved patient outcomes and reduction or elimination of disease. Applications for the development of preclinical models, such as organoids with TME elements are also of interest, particularly if they include goals to develop and advance new therapeutics.

It is recognized that the applications of new technologies to WM, which often generate descriptive work that lays the groundwork for new therapeutics, are important. Such translational applications will be considered but will be most competitive if clinical relevance can be shown. If the development of a novel therapeutic is proposed, ideally it will have optimized pharmacologic properties (i.e., a lead candidate) that could enable a clinical trial within 3 years. Applications for the development of preclinical models such as organoids with TME elements are also of interest (as done for follicular lymphoma), particularly if they include goals to develop new therapeutics.

Our Mission

Our mission is to serve as the connection between our community and public education, evaluating needs and securing resources to enhance the quality of education.

Originally established in 1987 as the Dial-A-Teacher program in Lake County, Florida, by local business leaders in collaboration with the Lake County School District. The primary objective was to provide homework assistance to students, particularly those facing academic challenges. In 1988, the 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization was renamed the Education Foundation of Lake County, Inc. This rebranding marked a broader commitment to enhancing public education in the community. Today, the foundation continues to serve as a vital link between the community and public education, offering various programs and initiatives to support students and educators throughout Lake County. We are a member of the Consortium of Florida Education Foundations.

Scholarships

Scholarships play a pivotal role in empowering students to pursue post-secondary education like a college or university degree, vocational credentials, or certifications. In partnership with our donors, the Education Foundation of Lake County offers scholarships based on academic achievement, talent and financial need. Annually, we award scholarships ranging from $500 to $20,000 to graduating Lake County seniors.
