Pseudomyxoma Peritonei Research Grant Program
PMP Research Foundation is dedicated to funding promising research for the diagnosis, treatment, and cure of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei (PMP).
The PMPRF Research Grant Program is currently administered by the highly respected National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD).
Grant recipients are selected by the independent NORD Medical Advisory Committee, which is chaired by Sami I. Said, MD, Distinguished Professor of the State University of New York. The program is administered by Stefanie Putkowski, RN, of the NORD staff.
Information and the application form for the PMPRF Research Grants available through NORD are available on the NORD website at their Request for Proposals page or from Ms. Putkowski. Questions or requests for application forms may be directed to Ms. Putkowski at (800) 999-NORD or research@rarediseases.org.

PMPRF/NORD Research Objectives
The purpose of the PMPRF/NORD Research Grant Program is to encourage meritorious clinical studies designed to improve the diagnosis or therapy of Pseudomyxoma Peritonei. Grants will be awarded to academic researchers to initiate small scientific studies and/or clinical research studies, the results of which could be used to obtain funding from NIH, FDA or other funding agencies, or to attract a corporate sponsor. Procedures or proposed approaches may be new, based on recent biochemical or pharmacological evidence, or in preliminary states of clinical investigation. Evaluation of proposals will include careful consideration of protocol design, objectiveness of parameters measured, and statistical evaluation proposed. Protocols that will focus on early detection, diagnosis, or treatment (pharmacological, devices, surgery, or dietary) or cure will be given priority.
