  The JDMLF, Inc. is proud to announce that a grant was recently made to the
  Tick Borne Disease Alliance (formerly Turn the Corner), in cooperation with
  ILADS, for their TBD Training Program. It is a program for medical professionals to train with a designated tick borne disease specialist. TBDA has trained more than 125 health care professionals through this program and thousands of individuals have been properly diagnosed and treated because of it. The "John Fund" is pleased to be able to assist, even in a small way, with the education of health care professionals for the benefit of patients living in the tri-state area.
  
  We are also proud to announce that we have also made a grant award for a research study to Dr. Richard Ostfeld of the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, entitled,  Landscape Epidemiology of Tick Borne Disease.  The "John Fund" is an additional funder for this study along with another grantor.  More information will be posted as it becomes available.
  
  
  
  
  
  

•      The John Drulle, M.D. Memorial Lyme Fund, Inc. is proud to announce that due to the success of the last five Great Imitator Fundraisers, the grant for a 2 year study researching the diseases carried by the Lone Star Tick (Amblyomma americanum) has been peer reviewed and published. A link to the study is below.  It is hoped that through this research we may better understand the threat these diseases and ticks pose to the public.  We will be investigating new grants to fund in the upcoming year.
