Ines Mandl Research Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- The foundation supports connective tissue research, including emphysema and genetic diseases linked to elastin and elastase, with a concern for causes rather than cure or treatment, and it may also support immunology and biochemistry.
- Only researchers with at least five years' experience and an MD, PhD, DVM or equivalent, or established educational and scientific organisations recognised as US public charities (or qualifying foreign grantees), are eligible, so a charity that is neither should not apply.
- Indirect costs are not funded, so the budget should show direct project costs only.
- Half of its grants to organisations were $59,500 or less, and its largest grant was $175,000 against a stated maximum of $100,000, so a modest, single-year request fits its stated preference best.
- Applications are emailed and due by 15 October, and only 7% of its grant dollars to organisations went to repeat grantees, while early-career applicants receive priority, all else equal.

Priority Areas
The Ines Mandl Research Foundation supports charitable, scientific and educational activities, with a focus on connective tissue research. It promotes and supports research into connective tissue diseases, including emphysema and genetic diseases, especially those related to elastin and elastase, concentrating on causes rather than cure or treatment; support may also include immunology and biochemistry. Its grants and fellowships are available to researchers with at least five years’ experience and an MD, PhD, DVM or equivalent, and to established educational and scientific organisations recognised as US public charities or qualifying foreign grantees. It encourages researchers early in their careers to apply and gives priority, all else equal, to applicants seeking to launch research careers. It is open to multi-year support but prefers single-year requests.
