Did you know that your donations are at work all year long?
CRF awards new grants twice a year to ensure that your donations are always at work funding important research studies that will lead to a cure for cystinosis. Once a grant is awarded, grant payments are made upon receipt of a progress report from the Principal Investigator which guarantees that progress is being made and the study is meeting its stated aims.
In May we issued three grant payments to Stéphanie Cherqui, PhD, Olivier Devuyst, PhD, and Morgan Fedorchak, PhD, totaling $326,266.50! You have helped us create a synergistic global research community, thank you!
