Challenges for Research

Shrinking funding from government, corporations, individuals

Our biomedical research establishment, once the most productive in the world, is on the edge of collapse because of lack of support. The chance of getting a research grant is at an all-time low.

David Greenberg, PhD Nationwide Children’s Hospital

Now—more than ever—it is critical to support OREF

If you don't have OREF then the future generation of clinician scientists is lost. It's gone.

My friends that I went to school with are dropping left and right because there’s no funding out there to keep them going.

It’s going to be the last man standing.
