Objective
Dream of a Cure Research Program
- To support research focused on improving the health and quality of life of all people with inherited bleeding disorders and finding a cure
- To provide basic scientific research grants aimed at developing treatments for hemophilia A and B, von Willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies, platelet function disorders and ultimately, at finding a cure.
Note: The program is no longer limited to hemophilia A & B-related projects so that projects focusing on von Willebrand disease, rare factor deficiencies, platelet function disorders (and platelet pathophysiology) and other congenital and acquired bleeding disorders can be supported.
Care until Cure Research Program
- To allow Canadian investigators to conduct research on medical and psychosocial aspects of bleeding disorders, including outcome evaluation
- To support clinical research in fields relevant to improving the quality of life of persons with hemophilia, persons with von Willebrand disease or other inherited bleeding disorders, persons with related conditions such as HIV or hepatitis C, and carriers of an inherited bleeding disorder.
ADVANCE Canada Research Program
To support research that will help inform how management and treatment should best be adapted for people ageing with hemophilia
The research program support studies that aim to:
- Identify and provide insight into key issues associated with the ageing hemophilia population.
- Identify how management of age-related co-morbidities should be adapted to those with hemophilia.
- Create and deliver evidence-based information to health care practitioners (HCPs), the public and policy makers that will lead to improved care and QoL for older Canadians living with hemophilia.
