What? (Our Mission):

PMP Research Foundation is dedicated to funding research to find a cure for PMP and related Peritoneal Surface Malignancies (PSM's)

Why? (Background):

The current state of world-wide PMP research is less than ideal:

Prior to PMP Research Foundation's formation, there has been no centralized PMP research organization.

Previous research has been funded by private institutions with little coordination or integration of findings.

Research is often redundant or theoretical; little is being achieved in terms of clinical practice to improve curability.

The rareness of PMP translates into minimal to no federally funded research.

Major Goals:

1.

Establish the first centralized charitable organization to fund PMP research.

2.

Raise $ 100,000 to award our first grant in Q1 of 2009.

3.
Create and maintain a short list of priority research that will produce near-term results in improving the quality of life & curability of PMP patients.

4.

Play a leading role in the dissemination of accurate information both to the patient and to medical communities.

5.
Raise a minimum of $1 million to fund research within 3-5 years.

6.
Help researchers find a cure for PMP.

With your help, we can achieve our goals!
