| Description |
|
The Food Allergy Initiative (FAI) was founded in 1998 by concerned parents and grandparents. Our goal is to fund research that seeks a cure; to improve diagnosis and treatment; and to keep patients safe through education and advocacy. FAI has raised more than $40 million toward the fulfillment of our mission. A national 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are supported solely by donations from corporations, foundations, and dedicated individuals.
FAI supports basic and clinical research worldwide. FAI-sponsored research seeks to find a cure and improve clinical treatment, including anaphylaxis and chronic diseases of the skin and gastrointestinal tract caused by food allergy. The FAI Medical Advisory Board, which comprises leading experts in the field, identifies and recommends the most promising studies for funding and ensures that all research is rigorously peer reviewed. |
