The MMRF is committed to distributing high-value awards which have a significant impact on moving research forward. MMRF Fellow's awards are valued at $40,000 while Senior Research awards range from $75,000-$100,000. Senior Research awards are awarded with the McCarty Cancer Foundation. In 1998, MMRF funded nine high-value research grants to leading myeloma clinicians and researchers all over the world.

The MMRF supports efforts in the most promising areas of cancer research. Our award winners are selected following a rigorous review process by the Foundation's esteemed Scientific Advisory Board.
