Stem Cell Research Foundation

Stem cell therapy can be defined as a part of a group of new techniques, or technologies that rely on replacing diseased or dysfunctional cells with healthy, functioning ones. These new techniques are being applied experimentally to a wide range of human disorders, including many types of cancer, neurological diseases such as Parkinson's Disease and ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), spinal cord injuries, and diabetes. It is the goal of the Stem Cell Research Foundation (SCRF) to help realize these hopes by supporting innovative basic and clinical research in the emerging and critical area of stem cell therapy. Since 2000, SCRF has awarded more than $1.8 million in research grants. SCRF is currently supporting a total of 6 research grants.
