Alliance for Lupus Research funded grant

ALR’s Functional Genomics and Molecular Pathways in SLE grants are now available online.  You can access this information through the ALR website at http://www.lupusresearch.org/  You can also access the application site directly at https://proposalcentral.altum.com.

Research Grants:  Approved grant applications will be eligible to receive a 2-year award for up to $350,000 USD (up to $175,000 USD per year for two years).  Research grants must provide evidence of preliminary data.  Guidelines for application and submission are also available on the websites listed above.
Pilot Grants: Approved grant applications will be eligible to receive a 1-year award for up to $75,000 USD.  Pilot grants are for projects that are not supported by preliminary data.  Guidelines for application and submission are also available on the websites listed above.

Applications submitted should focus on two principal areas: (1) functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants identified in human lupus have an authentic role in the disease and (2) detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways modulated by these candidate genes/variants identified in human lupus.
