Our comprehensive grant program attracts top scientific talent to the field and provides opportunities for researchers to pursue novel ideas as well as to advance proven approaches that improve treatment.
In addition to funding lupus research, the Lupus Research Alliance recognizes, through the Lupus Insight Prize, critical discoveries in an area of research that is applicable to the pathogenesis or treatment of lupus. These key findings, or insights, have a high likelihood of generating further significant advances by applying the insight to lupus.
