Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation

Letters of Intent for 2013 Grant Cycle
Now Being Accepted

I.M. Rosenzweig Young Investigator Awards

Albert Rose Established Investigator Awards

The Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation is accepting Letters of Intent for its 2013 PFF Research Fund grants.

One of the primary goals of the PFF Research Fund is to support research that will ultimately lead to successful therapies for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. In pursuit of this goal, the foundation has funded over $3 million in basic and clinical research. The fund supports investigations that offer a high likelihood of improving the understanding of pulmonary fibrosis in basic science, translational research, clinical research, and social science/quality of life.

In 2012, the foundation established two new awards named after its co-founders — the I.M. Rosenzweig Young Investigator Awards and the Albert Rose Established Investigator Awards.

The Young Investigator Awards are designed to encourage young investigators (individuals within five years of completion of their formal training) to maintain and enhance their interest in PF research during the early stages of their academic career.

The Established Investigator Awards are designed for individuals planning to explore innovative areas of research that may not yet be eligible for aNational Institutes of Health (or similar) grant.

Each of the programs will present two awards, with each recipient receiving up to $50,000 over a two-year period.
