Research Grants

The Wayne and Gladys Valley Foundation recently approved a research grant of $120,000 to The CFIDS Association to help the Association fund legitimizing science and speed progress toward better diagnostics and treatment and improved health for people suffering from CFIDS. We are also pleased to announce $5,000 in research support from The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation. The Association extends its appreciation to both foundations for their generosity and commitment to expanding vital CFIDS research.

These grants are part of a growing and important tradition for The CFIDS Association. In early 2001, we began a solid and productive relationship with The Faith and James Knight Foundation with a $102, 750 grant in support of CFIDS research and provider education. Our partnership has strengthened over the past several years and we’ve been able to work together to leverage their grant support and inspire others to give. Their most recent gift included seed funding for the Association’s February 29^th Oscar-night benefit event held inNew York City.
