Program
Currently the Scleroderma Foundation budgets an average of $1 million per year for research funding—our single largest budgeted expense.
The research grant funding program has earned a unique place in the field of scleroderma research. It is respected by medical researchers and by government health agencies such as NIH/NIAMS. The program is administered by the Scleroderma Foundation's Board of Directors and staff, and guided by the Foundation's Peer Research Review Committee. This committee, composed of medical experts on scleroderma from around the world, helps determine which proposals will be funded each year by reading, critiquing, and ranking all applications. Scleroderma Foundation (SF) is interested in fostering development of innovative, high-quality research by new and established investigators in fields related to systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma). To accomplish this goal, two distinct research grants are being offered entitled "Scleroderma Foundation New Investigator Grant," and the "Scleroderma Foundation Established Investigator Grant."
Grant Application Deadline: Sept. 15th annually by 5 p.m. EST.
This is truly a great opportunity for new and established researchers. Many researchers who have received funding from the Scleroderma Foundation have gone on to receive larger, federal grants for their research initiatives.
