The SAILING - Extramural Grant Program is funded by Jafron Biomedical and endorsed by the International Renal Research Institute of Vicenza (IRRIV) Foundation, University of Melbourne, and the Chinese Nephrologist Association. Professor Claudio Ronco from Italy, Professor Rinaldo Bellomo from Australia, and Professor Xiangmei Chen from China serve as the Global Academic Committee Chairs for the program. Since its launch at the Jafron International Hemoadsorption Summit in November 2023, the "SAILING Program" has attracted considerable global attention among eminent scholars.

The first round of the “SAILING Program” attracted 58 study protocols from various countries, including China, Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, Brazil, Russia, India, Iran, the Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, and Oman.

Following rigorous review and selection by the Global Academic Committee, 17 studies have been awarded. These studies encompass a broad spectrum of applications for hemoadsorption technology, addressing areas such as nephrology, sepsis, drug intoxication, cardiac surgery, as well as exploring innovative fields like neurological disorders, drug-induced liver injury, and cytokine adsorption.

Below is the list of the 17 awarded studies:
