Most may remember "Squiqqy" in Laverne and Shirley.. he has gone much of his life with a
complex disorder that makes living a pain! It's not POIS, but if you watch this video you'll see
that we have a lot in common.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubgURSn45jE&sns=em

He knows about us and offers us all of his wishes, that we push hard, as he has done in his life, to beat
this thing. Our solution and the solution for all the POIS sufferes of the world... even those who haven't
heard about our forum, is through RESEARCH

We are ALMOST THERE!!!

ONLY $9,000 more to go and POIS will *finally* begin SERIOUS MEDICAL RESEARCH towards our cure!

Please give generously. To yourself! NOW!

I've just donated $100. I hope more POIS Heroes join me.

This is not the first time I donate, but I hope this is almost the last time... if we all make a little effort today we can change our lives.

How much would you pay to be POIS free forever???

I don't live in the USA or in Europe, but I still donate as much as I can.
I can avoid having POIS by abstaining from sex... but that's not the life that I want.

Do it for your family, do it for your girlfriend, do it for the future, do it for you!!!

Come on people! Don't wait to your neighbor to donate (he doesn't have POIS), you are the only one that can change your future!!!

You've already donated a lot? Well... it's time to donate a little more. We are almost there!!!
$5, $10, $20, $50, every dollar counts!!!

As Demo said in another post, maybe there is one guy among us that can donate all the money we need... but I can't wait for a miracle to happen... and you?

Join the POIS Heroes movement by donating today!

Thanks,
Mat

I'll make an extra-effort before our March deadline. Everyone should give something, we really have the power to achieve our goal before this deadline and the moment to act is now(between now and 3rd week of March). Don't wait for other people, you and only you have the power to make a difference !

In February,  $2,542.90 was raised.
 
That gives us $33,677.00 since the balance of Feb 13 ($31,937.00) plus $1,240.00 (amijgoro) plus another $800.00 came in, to which Amij does not contribute.


For......... a grand total of....................... $33,677.00 + $800.00       =     $34,477.00 (we benefit by going over $minimum)

Hello, Habibou!

The grant (Request for Proposal -- "RFP") will be posted on our website, along with NORD's other RFPs, at the end of March (this month). We will also be sending MANY individual emails to potential applicants about your grant.

There will be a lot of processes going on between NORD's Medical Advisory Committee (MAC) and the applicants.  Nine to ten months later, around late November 2013, the award recipient will finally be chosen by NORD's MAC.

So -- the research will begin in around nine-ten months.  I know that it sounds like a long time -- but it's the only way to find the right and best researcher.

I'll keep you all posted as things progress -- you'll be able to see your RFP online when NORD posts it, and all of you will be able to share it, pass it on to others, to your own physiciains. etc.

I hope that answered your question, Habibou.

Just donated $250.  I know its too late for the first grant...just found the site.  Plan to do it again.  Couple of questions:  Are the research cycles yearly? Would there be any value in funding another research grant with a different company?

Hello, bjameshill --

It's not too late for your donation to go to this year's POIS grant.  The cut-off date is March 22, 2013. So, your donation will go to this 2013 grant. :)

To answer your questions --
 
(1) In general, NORD's grants are posted on a once/year cycle, in March.  There have been a few times where patient groups reached their funding goal in July or August, and were very anxious to get started.  If there are at least two grants ready at that time (for two different disorders), we'll post a second cycle of grants. 
It takes a lot of time and effort to post a second grant cycle, and includes requesting our Medical Advisory Committee to put in those extra hours of review. (They score the proposals on a voluntary basis -- they aren't paid to do this.)  So -- we try to keep it to a once/year event.

(2) There's always value in looking into research-funding through other organizations or companies!  (NORD isn't a private company -- we're a non-profit organization, just FYI.)

Hello, Everyone!

First, my apologies to you for not being able to provide an update about your research grant until today. NORD has been going through it annual financial audit for the past two weeks, so it's been very difficult to sort out all of our research grant funds in a more timely manner. 

But we did it -- and you men have done splendidly!!! You have officially surpassed the minimum amount to offer for a grant! 

In total, you've raised $34,850.  NORD's administrative fee is $3,500. This leaves you with a $31,350 grant award to offer.   This translates to 90 cents of every dollar going directly to your research.

Your POIS grant will be posted online some time next week (the week of April 1st).  I'll provide the link to it (to the "RFP") in this section of your forum ASAP.

You really, truly did a wonderful job.

Congratulations!!! 

Stef
