Immune Deficiency Foundation Research Grant Program

About this program

The Immune Deficiency Foundation offers one-year Research Grant Program awards of $25,000–$50,000 for noncommercial, patient-centered research addressing the treatment, diagnosis, health, disease management, or broader understanding of primary immunodeficiency. The highest-scored application may also receive the Michael Blaese Research Grant Award. U.S.-based academic researchers in medicine and science, including M.D., D.O., Ph.D., and R.N. investigators and trainees supported by an appropriate mentor, are eligible; proposals using animal models are not fundable, and institutional overhead is excluded. Applications are due September 14, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. ET, with a limit of one submission per applicant.
