Michelson Prizes: Next Generation Grants (Discontinued)

Michelson Grants in Reproductive Biology is a grant from Michelson Found Animals Foundation that funds scientists and researchers at institutions pursuing nonsurgical sterilization solutions for cats and dogs. Part of a million prize philanthropy initiative, the program awards up to ,000 per year for up to three years to support development of a permanent, single-dose, nonsurgical sterilant for male and female cats and dogs. A separate million prize exists for successful solutions. Applicants submit a brief letter of intent, which is reviewed within one month of submission; LOIs are accepted on a rolling basis at any time. The program uses both grants and prize incentives to accelerate research toward a transformative animal population management solution.

Research Grant Program is a grant from the Jeffrey Modell Foundation that funds novel investigations into Primary Immunodeficiencies (PI). The foundation supports research that expands understanding of specific immune defects and advances treatment and diagnosis of these rare diseases. Grants support both international and U.S. investigators with appropriate knowledge and research expertise. Awards provide up to $50,000 over a two-year project period ($25,000 per year). Applicants can apply through the Jeffrey Modell Foundation's online research grant portal, which also provides access to educational materials and the Global PI Village network.
