Bayer Hemophilia Awards Program - Research Priorities
Currently, the Program's Research Priorities are focused on hemophilia. They are as follows:
- Discovery or development of new recombinant molecules with potential therapeutic value in bleeding disorders
- New delivery options for these molecules
- Surveys and/or clinical studies focusing on treatment modalities for hemophilia e.g., prophylaxis
- Research to define a basis for inhibitor development in hemophilia
- Clinical studies focusing on the treatment of adverse events associated with hemophilia e.g., inhibitor development
- Health outcomes and quality of life research related to hemophilia
Previous Research
Over the previous five award cycles the Program has provided funding to support several projects in the following areas:
- Aspects of the molecular biology of vWF structure and function and the diagnosis and treatment of vWD
- The function and regulation of platelets and the diagnosis of platelet disorders
As a result, the Program will not award projects in these areas during this award cycle.
Excluded Research Topics
In order to maintain a focus on hemophilia and bleeding disorders, the Program will not support research focused on:
- Products or technologies licensed or patented by competitors of Bayer
- Cancer diagnosis or therapy
- AIDS diagnosis or hepatitis therapy except where specifically related to patients with hemophilia and HIV, HCV or HBV
- Cardiovascular disease diagnosis or therapy
- Purely thrombotic disorders
