Description
The Established Investigator Grant from the National Scleroderma Foundation provides funding to support established researchers pursuing highly innovative or highly relevant pilot studies in scleroderma research. The grant is intended to enable investigators to generate preliminary data that can lead to more substantial research grants from federal or non-federal sources. Projects may address a wide range of topics related to scleroderma, including but not limited to disease mechanisms, therapeutic development, clinical manifestations, and health services research. The program is open to both investigators within and outside the scleroderma field and encourages proposals likely to advance the scientific understanding and treatment of scleroderma.
