pmdf send out an announcement each year to researchers indicating we have available funding and are open to receive grant proposals. The proposals submitted are analyzed and reviewed by the pmdf board. Depending on the number of grants available with specific amounts, the board decides on who to fund based on a set of criteria: mission and goals of the pmdf, how realistic is the budget, how strong is the investigator, potential impact of the research, the significance and approach of the research.
