Arthritis and Related Autoimmune Disease Research Grant
Funds up to $250,000 over two years for early-career autoimmune disease research.
Covers up to $250,000 in direct costs over a two-year project. Applicants must never have held an NIH R01 grant or equivalent. This is one of several open ANRF opportunities sharing the same deadline; apply by following the RFP instructions on ANRF's own site, involving your institution's grants office as needed.
Aimed at early-career researchers studying arthritis or related autoimmune disease, at basic or clinical level, who are close to or just past their transition to running an independent research group. Clinical proposals need a translational angle that helps explain disease mechanism or treatment response.
