- Microbiome and lupus development and progression
- Understanding the underlying mechanisms contributing to differential responses to SLE therapies
- Biomarkers and SLE clinical subsets
There should be at least 3 but not more than 5 co-PIs to address one research question through complementary expertise. The applicant must hold an MD, PhD, DVM, or equivalent academic degree with a faculty position or equivalent at a college, university, medical school, or comparable institution anywhere in the world. The Award provides up to 1 million USD per year (including 10% indirect costs) for up to 3 years. The letters of intent are due on August 1, 2022, and invited full applications are due on March 1, 2023.
