What We Have Funded

CLL Society’s Research Program funds the most promising research that is being conducted by bold scientists at leading academic institutions. These investigators represent the nation’s leading experts who are working diligently to advance the field. Since launching the Research Program in 2022, CLL Society has already dedicated a total of $1,500,000 towards funding some of the nation’s top CLL / SLL researchers!

CLL Society’s Research Program award recipients are announced annually in July. Each awardee receives a varied amount of funding towards their research proposal, depending upon the type of grant they applied for and the funding available the year that the award was offered, to advance their important research in CLL / SLL. Recipients of CLL Society’s Research Program Awards are chosen through a rigorous selection process with the guidance and oversight of formal Research Review Committees comprised of volunteer members from our Medical Advisory Board and Expert Medical Council.
