Office of Research
Medical Funds Program
Seattle Foundation Medical Funds are available for specific equipment for medical research on cancer, cardio-pulmonary disorders, multiple sclerosis (and related diseases), arthritis and diabetes. Related or basic research projects that can potentially build knowledge to strengthen the diagnosis or treatment of these disorders are also encouraged to apply. A review committee comprised of senior medical researchers will evaluate the request based on scientific merit, support from other recognized research funding resources, and other factors.
Medical Funds are also available for specific equipment, capital campaigns or renovations for organizations serving the health care needs of low income children.
