Mission
The Foundation is seeking highly innovative and groundbreaking medical research proposals from top tier institutions in both basic biological and applied research that will have the greatest impact on scientific knowledge and human health. Proposals should be distinctive and novel in their approaches, question the prevailing paradigm, and lead to advancement of knowledge in the field.
A highly qualified scientific advisory committee will review all proposals. Applications are highly competitive. Priority is given to organizations with whom the Foundation has had a long-standing relationship, preferably in Texas.
Medical research institutions may submit one application each grant cycle, regardless if they have an open grant, and regardless of the number of affiliated entities within the institution. The medical research study application has a format similar to that of NIH. There is a separate application called Medical Research-Other that should be used for medical research-related requests other than medical research studies.

Eligible investigators may apply internally on InfoReady.
