Medical RFPs for the week of April 12, 2010

Title: Daland Fellowships in Clinical Investigation

Sponsor: American Philosophical Society

URL: http://www.amphilsoc.org/grants/daland

Deadline: September 1, 2010

Amount: up to $80,000

Eligibility: Ph.D.or M.D./Ph.D. nominated by department chairman

Abstract:  The American Philosophical Society awards a limited number of Daland Fellowships in Clinical Investigation for research in the several branches of clinical medicine, including internal medicine, neurology, pediatrics, psychiatry, and surgery. The committee emphasizes patient-oriented research.

Title: Novel Research Projects

Sponsor: Lupus Research Institute

URL: http://www.lupusresearchinstitute.org/research/grant_application

Deadline: May 28, 2010

Amount: up to $300,000

Eligibility: Individuals affiliated with institutions of higher learning in the United States and holding doctoral degrees at the assistant professor level or higher are eligible. Investigators already holding funding from the LRI are not eligible to apply.

Abstract:  Grants are made to support Novel Research Projects that evidence high promise for advancing the understanding of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. Research applications will be judged principally on novelty of hypothesis, scientific quality, strength of approach, relevance to lupus, and likelihood of success. Creativity will be valued. Rationale for the hypothesis to be tested rather than preliminary data will be emphasized. Therefore, continuations of long-term research projects are not appropriate for this submission. Projects on aspects of the disease that have been less extensively studied and applications from investigators in diverse disciplines, including those who may not have previously worked in lupus, are encouraged. Investigations should be relevant to basic, translational, or clinical research on lupus.

While the Institute encourages projects based on novel explorations of human lupus biology-innovative studies that use human material to address the physiological, cellular, molecular and/or genetic basis of human lupus-projects solely based on cellular, molecular, and/or animal models are also encouraged.

Title: Translational Research re: Fragile X-associated Disorders (FXD)

Sponsor: National Fragile X Foundation

URL: http://www.nfxf.org/html/request_for_application.htm

Deadline: May 31, 2010

Amount: up to $100,000

Eligibility: Ph.D./M.D./Other Professional

Abstract:  Translational research projects focus on bringing discoveries made about the nature, causes, and consequences of Fragile X-associated Disorders into the realm of therapeutics and interventions designed to treat the symptoms or underlying deficits of those disorders.

Title: Awards Program in Alzheimer's Disease Drug Discovery Research

Sponsor: Edward N. & Della L. Thome Memorial Foundation

URL: http://www.hria.org/tmfservices/thomead.html

Deadline: June 15, 2010

Amount: up to $750,000

Eligibility: Ph.D./M.D./Other Professional
Abstract:  The goal of the Awards Program is to support innovative drug discovery research that will lead to improved therapies for individuals suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
 
Examples of funding areas include the design, synthesis, and development of target compounds or the modification of existing compounds to improve drug effectiveness and safety as well as other approaches within the field of medicinal chemistry. Researchers dedicated to the validation and testing of target compounds, small molecule therapies, nanotechnologies, or similar techniques are also encouraged to apply.
