To improve the quality of life and prevent blood cancer in RUNX1-FPD patients.
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.
Inherited hematologic malignancy predisposition is a central theme in the portfolio. The foundation gave $30,000 to Cleveland Clinic Foundation for ECI Clinical Researcher, and $30,000 to St Jude Children's Research for Early Career Investigator ALSF, both aligned with early-stage research careers. It also supported a $46,875 Familial RUNX1 Research ALSF award to University of Mass Medical School, showing continued backing for family-based RUNX1 studies. In translational research, the foundation awarded $235,000 to University of Pennsylvania through RRP Independent Grant funding and $125,000 to Leland Stanford Junior University for research partnered with MFCR. Collaborative prevention-oriented work appears in a $250,000 grant to American Cancer Society and a $150,000 award to Oregon Health & Science Univ Founda for research pship with ALSFEP Evans. These grants point to a portfolio that combines basic disease modeling, prevention, and clinical research.
Typical awards cluster around mid-five figures and low-six figures, with a p25 of $30,000, a median of $45,938, and a p75 of $125,000. The upper end includes larger programmatic grants such as $250,000 awards and a $328,750 independent grant. The portfolio also shows repeated support to the same institutions across multiple years, including University of Pennsylvania, Boston Children's Hospital, and Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, which suggests ongoing relationships rather than one-off awards. The foundation operates through its own grant programs and partnerships with organizations such as Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, NIH, MFCR, and the Edward P. Evans Foundation. Some opportunities accept unsolicited applications, including the LEAP Grant and ECI program.
