Immune Deficiency Foundation Research Grant Program

About this program

The Immune Deficiency Foundation’s Research Grant Program provides $25,000–$50,000 one-year awards for non-commercial, patient-centered research addressing the treatment, health, disease management, diagnosis, or broader understanding of primary immunodeficiency (PI). The highest-scored application also receives the Michael Blaese Research Grant Award. U.S.-based academic researchers in medicine or science, including M.D., D.O., Ph.D., and R.N. investigators, are eligible; students, residents, and fellows may apply with an appropriate mentor’s support, biosketch, and letter. Proposals using animal models are not eligible, institutional overhead is not funded, and applicants may submit only one application by September 14, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
