The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) is launching Educate to Elevate, a multi-year initiative to raise public awareness, educate communities, and improve healthcare access for individuals with bleeding disorders. 

The campaign features celebrity advocates including Melora Hardin, Amy Jo Johnson, Jonathan Frakes, Jason Ritter, and Greg Grunberg, alongside medical experts and people living with bleeding disorders, amplifying the experiences and challenges faced by people who live with these disorders every day.

Why This Matters

The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) offers multiple funding opportunities for bleeding disorders researchers across all career stages and disciplines. Through the Judith Graham Pool Postdoctoral Research Fellowships, the Sanofi-sponsored Career Development Award, the Takeda-sponsored Clinical Fellowship, and the Excellence Fellowships, NBDF’s grant programs support diverse research needs, including basic science, clinical projects, and innovative technologies.

After decades of research during which gene therapy was considered a distant goal, FDA-approved gene therapy options for hemophilia are now available in the United States. As these therapies enter real-world clinical practice, patients and care teams are navigating new access and coverage considerations that differ from more traditional treatment models.

The National Bleeding Disorders Foundation (NBDF) has announced the recipients of its 2025 research grant cycle, providing new research funding through its the Judith Graham Pool Postdoctoral Research Fellowship,  Excellence Fellowships in Social Work, Nursing, and Physical Therapy, and the Sanofi-sponsored Career Development Award. This year’s cohort reflects the full breath of bleeding disorders research, spanning basic science, clinical investigation, and qualitative studies led by nursing, social work, and physical therapy professionals.
