2 The UV Foundation The UV Foundation funds research projects that will lead to a better understanding of the full scope of the biologic effects of ultraviolet light. Research into areas such as vitamin D production and positive effects of ultraviolet light exposure are vastly under-funded and little understood. The UV Foundation also engages in efforts to increase public awareness about the affects of UV light.
