Vasculitis Foundation Research Program

in

The purpose of the Vasculitis Foundation Research Program is to provide one or two year seed grants to support pilot studies in researching the:

  • etiology
  • epidemiology
  • diagnosis
  • treatment, including approaches that would prevent complications, and development of coping skills for living with this disease

The goals of the Research Program are to improve the quality of life for patients with vasculitis and ultimately find the cause/s and cure for vasculitis.

Maximum awards will be $50,000 for 12 months. Some awards will be available for two years. The Foundation's hope is that the results of the research supported by the Research Grant Program will lead to, and provide the basis for, much larger multi-year studies that would be funded by larger agencies like The National Institutes of Health.

Applications are reviewed annually. The deadline for submitting applications for the 2012 funding cycle is Monday, August 13, 2012.
