Out-of-Cycle Grants Program supports investigators’ large, typically clinical Alpha-1 research outside the regular grant cycle to improve lives affected by Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and seek a cure.
Funder: Alpha-1 Foundation
Due Dates: Yearly opportunities (contact A1F before applying)
Funding Amounts: Contact A1F for funding information
Summary: Supports investigators with large, typically clinical Alpha-1 research projects that do not fit the Foundation’s in-cycle grants program.
Key Information: Researchers must contact the Foundation before applying for an out-of-cycle grant.
The Alpha-1 Foundation’s Out-of-Cycle Grants Program supports large, typically clinical projects that do not fit its in-cycle grants program. Opportunities may take the form of Foundation-initiated requests for applications or investigator-initiated proposals addressing issues considered important but somewhat neglected by the research community. The Foundation initiates out-of-cycle opportunities on a yearly basis.
The program sits within the Foundation’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency and ultimately find a cure. Its broader research portfolio addresses Alpha-1-related lung and liver disease, advances in treatment and care, and ethical, legal, and social issues affecting people with genetic conditions. The Research Agenda and Research Opportunities Brochure provide context on the Foundation’s scientific priorities.
