The 2023 Rheumatoid Arthritis Research from the Arthritis Foundation seeks to better understand and predict the varied responses patients have to RA medications, including projects that aim to characterize disease control, remission, flare, and non-response, as well as ideas for potential novel interventions that could improve treatment response and control disease. Applications are open to US-based researchers who hold a PhD, lead their research group but are not yet full professors.
There are two award categories
- Pilot Research Award: Projects aim to investigate a novel hypothesis with no preliminary data requirements. Budget of up to $75,000 per year for 2 years (up to $150,000 total per award), or
- Large Research Award: Projects require preliminary data. Budget of up to $150,000 per year for 3 years (up to $450,000 total per award).
Proposed budget can include up to 8% indirect expenses, if needed.
Letters of intent are due on May 17, 2023.
