DoW Arthritis Clinical Research Award
Funds a human study of arthritis at whichever of two scales the evidence supports — a pilot or a full trial.
Arthritis research spans everything from a first pilot test to a trial big enough to change practice, and this award is built to fund either end, depending on how ready the science already is.
Two research levels sit inside one mechanism, and picking the right one is the applicant's job, not the programme's. Level 1 covers clinical research or early-phase and pilot clinical trials — new or emergi…
Clinical research on arthritis addressing Prevention and Early Diagnosis or Treatment and Mitigation of Disease Progression and Burden, funded at either of two research levels — Level 1 clinical research or early-phase/pilot trials, or Level 2 full-scale clinical trials — with preliminary or published data required and a community collaborator encouraged at Level 1 and required at Level 2.
