May 2016 - The iCMLf Diagnosis and Testing Program offers seeding grants to hematology institutions in emerging economic regions. The aim of the program is to facilitate the diagnosis, testing and long-term disease monitoring of CML patients in emerging economic regions where it is either limited, or not currently available.

Over 4 years the iCMLf have awarded 32 grants to enable CML diagnostics to be expanded and enhanced at a local level. This gives both physicians and patients the knowledge to make meaningful decisions on treatment. In 2016 the Foundation will offer 10 grants with funding of up to $10,000.

Applications will close on the 15th of July 2016. Expressions of interest are welcome to melissa@cml-foundation.org or read more for further information on how to apply.
