The Vasculitis Foundation, a leading international supporter of research on vasculitis, is pleased to welcome applications for our 2025 funding cycle for young investigators. The deadline for applications has been extended to September 30, 2024.
Qualifications: Applicants must be five years or less from fellowship graduation.
International Competition: Grant applications are accepted from U.S. and international institutions.
Application deadline: Monday, September 30, 2024
Awards: $25,000 maximum per year for two years (total $50,000); Funding will be available in July 2025
The VF Research Program provides two-year seed grants to support pilot studies in researching:
- Etiology/Pathogenesis (could include a broad range of studies of immunity, inflammation, or vascular biology. (Relevance to human vasculitis will be taken into account by the reviewers.)
- Epidemiology, including genetics
- Diagnosis, including identification of disease subtypes
- Treatment/Management, including therapeutics to treat vasculitis or prevent complications, biomarkers, and psychosocial outcomes
Goals: To improve the quality of life for patients with vasculitis, and ultimately find the cause/s and cure for vasculitis.
Eligibility
The Young Investigator Award provides grants to assist investigators in the early or pilot phase of a study or as additional support for a promising ongoing investigation. It is hoped that these studies will be further developed to attract future funding from other sources.
Applicants must be five years or less from fellowship graduation.
Investigators who are currently receiving funding (as an investigator or member of a team or from a fellowship) from the Vasculitis Foundation are not eligible to receive additional funding. The current study or fellowship must be closed and final narrative and financial reports submitted and approved by the VF Research Committee before the investigator is eligible to submit a new grant application.
Only one grant per institution is allowed per year. The current study or fellowship must be closed and final narrative and financial reports submitted and approved by the VF Research Committee before another grant can be awarded to the institute.
