Ann Theodore Sarcoidosis Breakthrough Initiative Grant Program

Body

The Ann Theodore Foundation partnered with the Science Philanthropy Accelerator for Research and Collaboration (SPARC) in 2020 to better understand the sarcoidosis landscape with the goal of developing philanthropic strategies that could be used to overcome barriers to scientific progress and improve clinical outcomes. The program brings together all funded researchers for annual meetings, promotes the sharing of research and the development of collaborations across institutions that would otherwise go untapped.
