If you support stem cell research:  Whether you are a stem cell researcher, or a concerned citizen,  Please Join the Global Medical Research Fund in supporting stem cell research.   Please join Team Global (see form below) to receive updates and action alerts on stem cell research.

Our Mission Statement.

    Our mission as a non-profit research and educational organization is to allow private citizens and corporations to donate and pool our resources.   These funds are then awarded in the form of block grants to various stem cell research facilities in Ohio and to provide educational grants to students.    
    Our current goals are to support research and therapies that show the potential to improve or cure various illnesses and diseases such as but not limited to Cancer, Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome (MODS), diabetes, blindness, epilepsy, and Parkinson's disease. We fully support grants to research agencies, and we direct most of our resources to embryonic, umbilical cord, and genetic research.   Fundraising is carried out in both traditional and non-traditional forms, which includes selling merchandise through Amazon.com, holding fundraiser events throughout the year, seeking grants from corporations, foundations, Government entities , and asking for your donations.
   We seek to educate the public through our website, press releases, various publications, and seminars.  The Global Medical Research Fund Is dedicated to help fund medical treatments involving embryonic stem cells for diseases and disabilities which Doctors and other professionals have not been able to successfully treat and cure.

Why Ohio is so important to stem cell research?

    Although Ohio is a failed state in terms of jobs lost, and unemployment statistics, The State of Ohio has one thing going strongly in it's favor.   Ohio's medical research infrastructure has the Cleveland Clinic and associated hospitals, The Akron Biomedical Research Corridor, University Heights Hospitals, and the Summa Healthcare Network. These medical infrastructures make Ohio #1 in the world in terms of biomedical research capability. Stem cell research could greatly benefit from Ohio, and Ohio could greatly benefit from stem cell research; it is a perfect match!     
    Although embryonic and related stem cell research is coming to Ohio we felt that a 501(c)3 organization was needed in this state to give a needed boost to funding, to help keep focus on finding cures,  to raise awareness  and education in regards to stem cell research in our area.

Why Embryonic Stem Cell Research / Genetics?

The reasons The Global Medical Research Fund is not focusing on one specific disease is rather straightforward.

• Embryonic Stem Cell Research is universal and crosses many medical research fields  -- what is meant by universal is that once the manipulation of embryonic stem cells are mastered (this is where embryonic stem cell research is currently) the medical applications will quickly follow.
• The genetic component of embryonic stem cell research is the same with all types of stem cells.  Genetic research provides the key to manipulating the stem cell.  Without genetic research the entire scope of embryonic stem cell research would collapse,  in short genetics provides the tools in our toolbox. 
• The reason to use embryonic stem cells:  Although the news programs and pundits like to hype the use of (so-called) adult stem cells, embryonic stem cells will remain the gold standard of stem cell research for the foreseeable future, because they contain the ability to be used universally throughout the human body.  That is embryonic stem cells can become ANY TISSUE OR CELL TYPE needed to repair or replace damaged tissue in the human body.

     It is critical that all of us decide what we believe is just and moral (based on facts) concerning our children, loved ones, the use of Embryonic stem cell research and that we help to educate those around us. In this way, we can influence what future world we will live in.    Many forces are already at work changing our world.
     In the coming years, Embryonic Stem Cell Research will be one of the most powerful technologies in medical applications. As this technology is developed, people will often try to shape our views about stem cell research in order to influence if and how it is used. As informed citizens, if we do not help make those decisions, they will be made for us by others who may not necessarily have our best interests in mind. We can participate in the decision process in many ways. One way to participate is to continue learning as to better understand some of the complex issues stem cell research poses for humanity. Another way to participate is to stay informed about stem cell research advances and controversies, and then make your voice heard by as many people as you can influence. Make a difference, they are our friends, neighbors, and loved ones whose lives will benefit from embryonic stem cell research, and it is our responsibility to make our voices heard!
