About Runx1 Foundation Dba Runx1 Research Program
RUNX1 Foundation dba RUNX1 Research Program centers its funding on RUNX1 familial platelet disorder and the prevention of blood cancer in people with RUNX1-FPD. Recent grants show a research program built around disease mechanisms, interception, and translational work rather than direct service funding. The largest recent award in the data is $328,750 to the University of Pennsylvania for independent grants, alongside a $250,000 grant to American Cancer Society for grants. The foundation also backed Boston Children's Hospital twice at $250,000 in 2024 and 2023, including one project noted as research partnered with NIH. Other awards support investigator teams, early-career researchers, and partner programs connected to inherited hematologic malignancy predisposition. That mix matches the foundation’s stated goal of improving quality of life and preventing blood cancer in RUNX1-FPD patients. The grant list also includes work tied to clinical and translational research, patient registries, biobanking resources, and collaborative research partnerships, indicating a field-building approach that supports both individual projects and shared infrastructure for RUNX1-focused science.
