International Myeloma Foundation Brian D. Novis Research Grant Program 2011 Senior Research Award
Since 1990, the International Myeloma Foundation (IMF) has supported research through demographic analysis of risk factors to determine what causes myeloma. In 1994, the IMF established the Brian D. Novis Research Grant program to support investigators conducting cutting-edge studies to provide better treatment, management, prevention, and ultimately, a cure for myeloma.
The IMF offers grants to doctors and researchers working in the field of myeloma. All grant applications for funding in 2011 must be received by the IMF by August 31, 2010.
The International Myeloma Foundation funds several research grants including the Brian D. Novis Research Award. These grants are provided through donations from private individuals, and are presented annually by the International Myeloma Foundation. These awards go to doctors/researchers doing work in the field of multiple myeloma. This year’s awards will be in the amount of $80,000. The Brian D. Novis Award honors the IMF’s founder Brian Novis, who died of multiple myeloma in July of 1992. The International Myeloma Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to improve the quality of life for myeloma patients while working toward prevention and a cure.
