Description
The Society for the Study of Celiac Disease (SSCD) and the Celiac Disease Foundation jointly offer this award to support promising investigators early in their research careers. It funds basic, translational, or clinical research in celiac disease while helping recipients develop the skills and experience needed for independent research careers.
The program links a proposed research project with a mentorship and career-development plan. Proposals should emphasize relevance to celiac disease, scientific objectives, potential innovation, and clinical significance. The institutional environment also matters: applicants must describe the research and career-development opportunities, equipment, facilities, and resources available to support both the project and their long-term goals.
