This foundation provides much needed funding for new science that is not yet proven enough to gain funding from the NIH or other such sources. To date more that $2,000,000 has been granted to the research that the medical review board, which is made up of the top people from Duke, Emory, UAB and Moffitt, deem the best science from the grant requests received each year. I can't tell you how many times we have heard the research scientist that have received a grant from the SBTF have told us that with this seed money, their research would have never happened.
