Karen Wyckoff Rein in Sarcoma Research Grant
The Karen Wyckoff Rein in Sarcoma Foundation was established by Karen Wyckoff shortly before her death from synovial sarcoma in August of 2001. These research grants support one of the three major goals of the foundation (research; patient and survivor support; and education) to continue Karen’s vision. Proposals must focus primarily on sarcoma (basic, translational and/or clinical research).
