Description
The Foundation for Sarcoidosis Research (FSR) Early Career Fellowship Grant combines innovative research with specialized training for investigators building a long-term career in sarcoidosis research or clinical care. Proposed studies must be likely to add significant knowledge to the field and enhance care for people living with sarcoidosis. Supported work includes clinical, basic, and translational science.
Mentored research and career development are central to the program. FSR prefers applicants seeking to transition from fellowship to a faculty appointment, although investigators transitioning from other positions to increase research or focus on sarcoidosis may also qualify. The fellowship aims to develop productive, independent physician scientists and laboratory-based investigators through meaningful research, dedicated mentorship, and a supportive institutional environment.
