The purpose of these grants are to assist in improving the evidence base on which wound healing research is based on. Our goal for this program is to award grants that specifically address evidence and treatment gaps.
Scientific advancement
The Foundation also provides research recognition grants to help assist outstanding researchers in other wound healing areas.The purpose of these grants are to help stimulate and recognize unique areas of wound research that are being performed to further advance the science. Our goal for this program is to award grants that are scientifically creative and can advance the science of wound healing.
Innovative Grants Program
The Foundation is positioned to expand its research program through additional research grants, fellowships and awards. There is a continuing need to fund new and established investigators engaged in cutting edge research to generate pilot data leading to new innovations to advance the basic and clinical science of wound healing. Our goal for this program is to award grants beginning at or above $10,000. Go to our donate page to make a donation today.
