Research
The Cleft Palate Foundation has been funding research into the causes and treatments of cleft and craniofacial birth defects since 1989. We are currently funding the Junior Investigator grants and the Etiology grant. We receive support for the other two grants from the following organizations:
American Association of Oral/Maxillofacial Surgeons Rosemont, IL
Children’s Craniofacial Association Dallas, TX
Please note: 2010 funding for the CCA grant has been reduced to $2,500.
To date we have awarded over $570,000 in research funding. Our grants range from $5,000 to $10,000 each in four categories. Many researchers have found that our grants provide the perfect “seed money” for starting a project that will later attract other larger grants. Application forms and guidelines can be printed directly from our website.
