The Jeffrey Modell Foundation (JMF) is an international, non-profit, organisation dedicated to helping individuals and family members affected by primary immunodeficiency disorders. The Foundation is active in four main areas: research, physician and patient education, patient support, and public awareness of primary immune deficiency.

The goal of the Specific Defect Research Program is to support research to study the mechanisms and presentation of specific defects of the immune system, leading to a better understanding of the conditions and their impact on overall health outcomes. The Foundation's database includes high numbers of various genotypes around the world. This database can provide an excellent platform for collaboration. This can evolve into sharing patient samples and setting up international collaborative studies. Working together with the Foundation, investigators will have access to this international database and be able to contact other sites in order to coordinate studies.

Novel investigations are invited to expand upon the list of Specific Defect Research Grants specified on the link provided below.

Each award amounts up to $50,000 over a two-year project period, with a maximum of $25,000 per year.

Applications for this program are currently accepted and reviewed on a rolling basis, so you may apply at any time.

Investigators from any country are eligible to apply.
