Welcome to the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation (LLHF) Grant Management System!   Starting with the 2006 grant application cycle, all applicants for funding must use this online system to submit applications and progress reports to the foundation.  The main LLHF web site (http://www.llhf.org) remains the primary web site for information about the foundation.

Year 2009 Funding Status (effective September 30, 2008)

In calendar year 2009, the Larry L. Hillblom Foundation anticipates that it will fund and monitor fourteen to sixteen on going Network Grants and more than forty Start-Up and Fellowship Grants. The budgetary constraints resulting from supporting these on going grants preclude the Foundation from accepting applications for new Network, Start-Up or Fellowship grants for the 2009 funding cycle. Please visit our website in September 2009 for information regarding funding opportunities for our January 2010 grant cycle.

The Hillblom Foundation is pleased to continue supporting the many extraordinary research scientists in the State of California through previously funded grant applications.
