Our Research grant program:

The OutSmarting Osteosarcoma Research Grant program started in 2017. Since then, MIB Agents has supported 22 investigators and awarded $1,800,000 to support osteosarcoma research. Collaboration among the scientific and patient communities is a key hallmark of MIB Agents. Our OutSmarting Osteosarcoma grants are supported by MIB Agents Family Funds, osteosarcoma patients, and families who raise funds in honor of an OsteoWarrior or OsteoAngel. Their dedication to Making It Better and fostering collaboration and education in the scientific community makes every MIB Agents award incredibly meaningful. LOIs are due in October. Invited applications are due in January.
