The Osteosarcoma Institute (OSI) — a leading funder of osteosarcoma research — is pleased to announce its 2022 research grant funding recipients. Out of 25 applications submitted in the 2021-2022 grant cycle, the OSI’s expert review committee selected two potentially groundbreaking scientific research projects.
“This year, we selected two novel research studies to receive $500,000 each,” says Lee Helman, MD, the OSI’s Director and an expert in the field of osteosarcoma. Since its inception in 2017, the OSI has awarded more than $5 million to cutting-edge osteosarcoma research. Funding research is an early step toward developing better treatments, and ultimately, a cure. The standard treatments for osteosarcoma have not changed in 40 years. New kinds of therapies are critical to saving lives.
