Description
This award is designed to foster new, highly innovative research projects focused on understanding the causes and mechanisms of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC). It is specifically intended for exploratory studies that lack substantial preliminary data and may not be competitive for traditional funding. Projects should be novel and distinct from ongoing research, with the potential to generate high-impact results and serve as a foundation for future, larger-scale investigations in PSC.
