Posted: 2026-11-13 09:54:22 (Funding)
Award amount: Up to $700,000
Description:
The Foundation primarily supports basic science, ideally with potential translational applications. Examples of current research areas supported include immunology, microbiome, structural biology, cellular physiology, cancer biology, genetics, genomics, microbiology and infectious diseases, stem cell biology, and neuroscience.
Research areas that will not be considered for support include Covid-19 related research projects (aims or sub-aims), Plant Biology Research, Oceanography, Space Exploration. and Global Warming related research. In addition, medical imaging technology related projects and/or electrical engineering technology development projects will not be considered for support.
The Foundation does not support research conducted in human subjects and will not fund requests for clinical trials or drug discovery. The Foundation will not support research projects that they consider pre-clinical drug development.
Renewal applications for the same or related research will not be accorded priority consideration. It is strongly advised that any re-application for grant renewal consider a new direction based on prior research or emphasize some new potential translational aspects and not merely an extension of previously funded research.
Requests for funding previously federally supported research and/or applications pending federal approval will not be accorded priority consideration.
Currently, the Foundation does not offer advice about proposed project ideas or screen LOIs before they are submitted. The Mathers Board believes that the information on the website provides sufficient guidance for a wide variety of research projects that could be considered for support.
