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.

IWMF Pilot Clinical Trial Grants
IWMF seeks to support independent investigators affiliated with academic institutions using investigator-initiated trials (IITs) to undertake clinical studies of novel agents, novel combinations, or new immunotherapies with potential for clinical breakthroughs in Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM) patients. These clinical studies are designed to demonstrate proof-of-concept and produce compelling results in a limited number of patients. Successful study results will provide validation to initiate larger clinical studies to achieve new therapy inclusion in NCCN Guidelines, FDA approval, or other comparable regulatory approvals in the future.
Importantly, studies should be designed to achieve complete responses and MRD-negativity, leading to the IWMF’s goal of enhancing long-term disease control (a functional cure) and ultimately, complete cures (discontinuation of any therapy). Applicants should provide a detailed explanation of the proposed rationale, prior clinical data to support the thesis, and a clear rationale for the overall duration and projected schedule for milestone-based payments throughout the Grant period.

IWMF Acceleration and Expansion Research Grants
IWMF seeks to support research studies to: 1) accelerate existing and additional IWMF Grants requiring further funding based on a novel, testable hypothesis that drives the additional funded research work toward translational and clinical applications (an Acceleration Grant); or 2) expand funding support for novel, translational mechanisms or targets, based on previous proof-of-concept work that may or may not have previous evidence of activity in B-cell malignancies (an Expansion Grant). For Expansion Grants, investigators outside the field of plasma cell malignancies are also encouraged to apply. The subject work may apply new techniques such as single-cell analysis, epigenetic profiling, or state-of-the art cell-free DNA methodology, among others, to Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia (WM).
Acceleration and Expansion Research Grants will be issued as one-year Grants, with the IWMF having the option to renew these for one additional year. Renewal after the first year will be considered if substantive and significant progress against the Aims, as defined in the application, are demonstrated. The progress review will be considered by an IWMF Scientific Advisory Subcommittee that will meet by videoconference with Grant Awardees, approximately 12 months after the start of the Grant Award, to review the recipient’s progress against milestones, discuss potential opportunities for collaboration that may enhance the achievement of project goals, and provide mentoring and constructive review input. The IWMF retains the right, in its sole discretion, to decide whether to renew Grants for a second year.
