Year 2010 Funding Status

In calendar years 2009-2010, the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation anticipates that it will fund and monitor sixteen ongoing Network Grants and more than forty Start-Up and Fellowship Grants. The budgetary constraints resulting from supporting these ongoing grants preclude the Foundation from accepting applications for new Network, Start-Up or Fellowship grants for the 2010 funding cycle. Please visit our website in September 2010 for information regarding funding opportunities for our January 2011 grant cycle.

The Hillblom Foundation is pleased to continue supporting the many extraordinary research scientists in the State of California through previously funded grant applications.
