The HHV-6 Foundation funds scientists and clinicians who seek to explore HHV-6 disease associations, diagnostic assays and treatments. We also support conferences to promote an exchange of ideas. Since administrative expenses are covered from other sources, 100% of individual donations go directly to fund pilot grant research projects such as the ones listed below. These grant requests are reviewed and approved by our Scientific Advisory Board.
If there is a project you would like to fund, we accept restricted gifts for projects of interest to patient families. Here are some of the projects (separate from the pilot grant program) that we would like to fund in the near future:
- Study of HHV-6B DNA in refractory epilepsy brain tissue resections: $35,000
- Study HHV-6A in Hodgkin’s lymphoma tissues: $25,000
- Antiviral testing of 50 compounds for activity against HHV-6: $50,000
- Establishment of a registry for CIHHV-6 individuals: $25,000
- Study HHV-6A in the spinal fluid of CFS patients: $45,000
- Study of HHV-6A in African children: $15,000
Your donations are tax deductable. The Foundation is a public non-profit organization.
We also encourage volunteers to contact us to learn how you can help.
