Since 1979, the Research Awards Program has provided more than US$21 million for research. More than 650 qualified scientists and physicians have pursued careers in liver disease research and treatment as a result of receiving the ALF and AASLD grants early in their careers.
No other voluntary organization in the nation provides a voice for the 30 million Americans with liver disease. The ALF makes a measurable difference in the fight against liver disease by providing financial support for medical research, education for patients and health care professionals, and advocacy and information for patients and their families, and by creating public awareness initiatives about liver wellness and disease prevention.
No matter how you become involved your support of the ALF will make an impact on the 30 million people living with liver disease. Make the commitment to help in your own way today.
