Amyloidosis Foundation 2013 Senior Research Grant
History of the Amyloidosis Foundation: The Amyloidosis Foundation is a result of the merge of the Amyloidosis Research Foundation and the Amyloidosis Support Network in 2007. The ARF’s original mission was to support research for all types of amyloidosis and the ASN’s original mission was to increase awareness of the disease and support patients with information. The new organization maintains both missions with the intent of expanding our services to both patients and the medical and scientific community.
Eligibility
The grant program supports two research areas, basic scientific research and translational research. Applicants will have completed their doctoral studies or clinical fellowship more than ten (10) years prior to application to this program. Although a mentor is not a requirement, the involvement of one will be considered in the feasibility review of the proposal.
Submission Deadline/Confirmation
Complete applications must be received by August 1, 2013. You will receive a confirmation email or fax from the AF upon receipt of your application.
Selection and Considerations
The selection of the recipient(s) will be made by the Board of Directors of the foundation, after all applications have been reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board, consisting of experts in the field of amyloidosis. Candidates are strictly prohibited from contacting any members of the advisory board regarding status of their application.
The committee will consider most favorably those proposals that provide evidence of an applicant’s research initiative and creativity. The committee will also consider the feasibility of meaningful results from the proposed research, and the likely contribution to the advancement of knowledge of Amyloidosis etiology, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention.
Selection Notification
All candidates will receive notification from the AF office of the final selection of the recipient(s) via email or mail. The award announcement for this grant cycle will be no later than December 1, 2013.

Research Mentoring-Pair Travel Award
The Research Mentoring-Pair Travel Award Program (RMPTA) is designed to foster the professional development of students and emerging scientists who have expressed an interest in research careers in communication sciences and disorders. RMPTA is given in conjunction with the Research Symposium held at the annual ASHA Convention. Both RMPTA and the Symposium are co-sponsored by ASHA and the NIDCD, through an R13 grant awarded to ASHA.
Up to five travel awards of $1,000 each will be granted to eligible mentor-protégé pairs (protégé=$750; mentor=$250). Early-rate Convention registration fees will also be covered for both the protégé and mentor. This award is intended to help defray the cost of attending the Symposium.
Protégés must be (a) a current student at the master's, AuD, or PhD level, (b) a postdoctoral fellow, or (c) a junior level faculty member (less than six years teaching/research experience in a tenure-track position or below the level of associate professor).
Special consideration will be given to individuals whose research or research interests are (a) relevant to the current year's Symposium topic, (b) interdisciplinary in nature, (c) translational in nature, or (d) related to issues of cultural or linguistic diversity.
Protégés must arrange to be mentored by an experienced investigator affiliated with an academic or clinical research environment. Your mentor may be affiliated with your university or based elsewhere, but you must be able to extend a relationship with your mentor beyond the Symposium.
