The Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation supports health and medicine issues. Our current advisor is Dr. Jakub Tolar, University of Minnesota.
The Foundation rarely funds biomedical research but when it does it involves regenerative medicine. The foundation is interested in short-term, in-clinic treatment that positively impacts patients and their families.
