Funding Medical Research
IROH Foundation funds high-impact organizations led by dedicated teams already demonstrating measurable results. In medical research, progress may take the form of new discoveries, stronger evidence, or approaches that move an entire field forward.
​
Our grant portfolio includes medical research and awareness programs focused on serious, often overlooked conditions—disorders that are under-recognized, under-funded, and deeply disruptive to daily life. We believe targeted support for rigorous, promising work can accelerate breakthroughs, expand access to care, and materially improve quality of life.
 
Where We Focus
We support programs that deliver measurable impact across the full continuum of care:
  • Foundational health: nutrition, mental health, sexual health education
  • Maternal and early life: prenatal, reproductive, neonatal, and child health
  • Community-based care: community health workers and local delivery models
  • Restorative care: prosthetics and rehabilitation
  • Frontiers of medicine: neurological and rare-disease efforts with clear research or outcome promise

​
​​We’re especially interested in efforts that:

Demonstrate a clear path to real-world impact.
  • Clinical Studies
  • Translational Research
  • Registries
  • Biobanks

Improve awareness and enable earlier diagnosis.
  • Public Education
  • Clinician Training
  • Screening Pipelines

Expand patient access through innovative support models.
  • Care Delivery
  • Assistive Technologies
  • Access Programs

​Address system or policy barriers that limit treatment and everyday functioning.
