Medical Research
At CAF, Medical Research is Key
Medical researchers who are interested in initiating a thalassemia-related project or who have an existing project that requires additional funding: The Cooley’s Anemia Foundation may be just what you need.
CAF has a decades-long history of supporting innovative and important research in thalassemia. Our established and respected Medical Fellowship program has funded numerous early career individuals who have continued to stay in the thalassemia field and make important contributions to the scientific and clinical study of thalassemia.
Our Support for Ongoing Clinical Research in Thalassemia Grants and Clinical Trials in Thalassemia Cell and Gene Therapy Grants are aggressively pushing forward the understanding of issues of concern to the growing thalassemia population and helping to propel advances in areas of primary importance.
