Dear Lupus Researchers,
The Alliance for Lupus Research (ALR) is pleased to announce that the applications for the ALR’s Target Identification in Lupus (TIL) grants are now available online. Investigators seeking to submit grants applications will be eligible to receive a 2-year award for up to $500,000.
Associated deadline dates are as follows:
The ALR funds research that will accelerate the development of new treatments of lupus. As such, grant proposals should be innovative in direction and utilize state-of-the-art techniques. Fundamental studies in genetics, immunology, cell biology and molecular biology to identify and characterize molecular systems must be oriented towards the development of drugs that would prevent and/or ameliorate clinical signs and symptoms of lupus.
Individuals with doctoral degrees (MD, PhD, DO or equivalent) are eligible to apply. Scientific independence, as evidenced by direction of a research program or a publication record or other experience that establishes scientific leadership, is necessary to apply. The ALR does not impose geographic restrictions on its applicants and investigators working anywhere in the world are eligible and encouraged to apply. The ALR is willing to appropriately support research in industry or collaborations between academia and industry.
If you have any questions or require any additional information regarding the application process, please contact Diomaris Gonzalez, Manager of Research Administration at (212) 218-2840; 1-800-867-1743 or at dgonzalez@lupusresearch.org.
