Transforming Pediatric Osteosarcoma Research Through Grants

MIB Agents Now Accepting Letters of Intent for Research Grants

Aiming to further research for pediatric osteosarcoma, MIB Agents awards grants annually.

Grant Program Overview

MIB Agents is excited to announce that it is opening its doors for letters of intent (LOI) for its annual OutSmarting Osteosarcoma research grant program, inviting researchers to submit their innovative projects aimed at improving the lives of those affected by osteosarcoma. Since its inception in 2017, the program has been dedicated to funding essential research that targets this aggressive bone cancer, impacting an estimated 1,000 individuals annually in the U.S., many of whom are young children and teenagers.

Funding and Support

Over the past years, MIB Agents has awarded a remarkable total of $2.5 million, supporting 32 researchers in their quest for advancements in osteosarcoma research. The organization provides a $100,000 Hero award, recognizing outstanding contributions in the field, and a $50,000 Young Investigator Research Hope award to nurture the next generation of researchers. These awards play a crucial role in encouraging new ideas and fostering talent within the field.

Community Involvement and Collaboration

The unique aspect of MIB Agents’ grant initiative is the strong involvement of the community. Patients, families, and fundraising efforts collectively contribute to the creation of MIB Agents Family Funds, commemorating loved ones battling this disease, or remembering those who have passed. This collaboration not only enriches the research endeavors but also provides a sense of hope and unity among those affected by osteosarcoma.

Partnerships with Foundations

Additionally, the OutSmarting Osteosarcoma grants may receive support through collaborations with other charitable foundations dedicated to pediatric cancer research. These partnerships seek to back studies that have undergone rigorous scientific peer review, ensuring that only the most promising proposals receive funding.

Patient Voices in Research

MIB Agents prides itself on bridging the gap between the scientific community and patient experiences. The grant review process is detailed and inclusive, as family representatives participate as Stakeholder Reviewers, lending valuable insights on the proposals. Their involvement guarantees that patients' needs and perspectives are fundamental to the research that is funded.

Applying for an LOI

Those interested in applying can find detailed eligibility requirements and guidelines on the MIB Agents website. LOIs must be submitted through the Proposal Central online platform by the deadline. Following the submission, a peer review process will assess all proposals, and the top applicants will be invited to submit a full application shortly thereafter. Award notifications are expected to be communicated in early spring of the following year.
