Description
This opportunity provides seed funding for collaborative research projects between early career investigators from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) and the Pediatric Rheumatology European Society (PreS). The award aims to foster innovative, international partnerships that leverage the unique strengths and infrastructures of both organizations to address priority topics in pediatric rheumatology. Funding supports activities such as meetings, preliminary data generation, and pilot studies, with the goal of building a foundation for future large-scale research initiatives. Projects should engage patients, extend expertise beyond what either group could achieve alone, and advance the missions of both CARRA and PreS.
