Eligibility Criteria

To apply and qualify for a Patient or Research Grant, organizations MUST meet the following criteria:

  • Applicants must be committed to the mission and core purposes of the CSL Behring Foundation for Research and Advancement of Patient Health. Applications must demonstrate medical, scientific and/or humanitarian significance and, without exception, demonstrate that the proposed work will benefit the bleeding disorders community.
  • Grant requests must be in the area of bleeding disorders, e.g., hemophilia or von Willebrand Disease.
  • Applications should constitute a single project/program. Multiple applications from a single organization and/or person will be accepted and are recommended if the proposed activities do not fall logically within one project.
  • Preference will be given to new projects/programs, for example requesting funding for annual camps or existing research programs are unlikely to be successful.
  • All projects must be conducted in the United States, unless there is a specific reason why work must be conducted in whole or in part outside the United States, e.g., a cross-cultural study.
  • The maximum amount requested shall not exceed $100,000.00 per grant, per annum, with a minimum grant request usually not to be below $10,000.00
  • Applications must be submitted before designated deadlines and written in English. If English is not an applicant’s primary language, the Foundation’s Advisory Council will determine in its sole discretion whether to make an exception to the rule.
  • Multi-year requests, grant renewals or budget extensions will be considered on a case-by-case basis and in accordance with Foundation guidelines.
  • No project should include any request for products manufactured by CSL Behring.

Research Grants – Additional Criteria

  • Applications to fund fellowships are acceptable. All applications should include the proposed recipient, and a detailed description of the proposed activities the individual will undertake. Please note the following criteria for fellowship training grants.
    • Fellowship training should be specifically in the area of coagulation disorders and include a portion of time in the clinical management of these patients.
    • This funding is intended for fellows who have completed their year of general clinical training in medical hematology, pediatric hematology/oncology, or other medical subspecialty.
    • Funding for training may be requested for up to 2 years.
    • Funding will be provided for training only and not for associated specific projects the fellow will be working upon. If funding is required for a specific project, please submit a separate grant, detailing the project. Please note trainee salary can be incorporated into the budget of this proposal.
    • Salary funding should be according to level of training i.e. PGY 7/8, not at the level of practicing attending physician.
    • Options exist for part-time unding requests.
    • No overhead charge is to be applied to fellowship salary funding.
  • Medical research projects should be largely of a clinical nature and not basic science research.
