Active Grants

Below is a list of the “active” grants of the Flinn Foundation—those grants that have been awarded and have yet to receive final payment; and/or for which grant-related activities have not concluded.

Many Flinn Foundation grants are multi-year awards that receive payments at several junctures. In some cases, grants are extended (without additional funding) beyond their scheduled date of conclusion.

This list is not comprehensive, as it excludes modest grants for membership dues to philanthropic organizations and other miscellaneous awards, but represents the Foundation’s project-specific grant-making activity to achieve its strategic goals.

Arizona State University

City: Tempe

Amount: $999,712

Award Date: 2023

Duration: 36 months

Program Area: Bioscience

Support for an initiative in partnership with Valleywise Health based at the Phoenix Bioscience Core that will apply academic data-science expertise to complex research challenges involving typically inaccessible health-system patient data.

Arizona State University

City: Tempe

Amount: $100,000

Award Date: 2023

Duration: 12 months

Program Area: Bioscience

A follow-on grant to sustain support for a project, in partnership with Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, to develop a portable, hand-held, neurostimulation system for a patient to use for a few minutes at a time to mitigate pain during an episode of chronic migraine. The injectable neurostimulation technique will provide the spatial precision of implanted microscale leads. This could bring relief to 1.4-2.2% of the world’s population that is impacted by chronic migraine and suffer with migraines about 15 or more days per month. This grant is awarded under the Flinn Foundation Translational Research Seed Grant Initiative to support research collaborations between basic scientists and clinical researchers.
