The Vasculitis Foundation, a leading international supporter of research on vasculitis, is pleased to welcome applications for our 2024 funding cycle for young investigators.
Awards: $25,000 maximum per year for two years (total $50,000)
The VF Research Program provides two-year seed grants to support pilot studies in researching:

- 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.
