Scleroderma Foundation Research Grant Program
The Foundation is interested in fostering the development of innovative and high quality research by new and established investigators in fields related to systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma.)
Two distinct research grants are offered — the Scleroderma Foundation New Investigator Grant and the Scleroderma Foundation Established Investigator Grant.
The Scleroderma Foundation's New Investigator Grant is for new investigators who hold faculty or equivalent positions and who wish to pursue a career in research related to systemic scleroderma. This grant will support promising research that is likely to lead to individual research project grants and is designed to facilitate the entry of new investigators into this area of research. Applicants may request up to $50,000 per year for up to three years not to exceed $150,000.
The Scleroderma Foundation's Established Investigator Grant is for established investigators both inside and outside the field of SSc research who wish to propose pilot studies to obtain preliminary data dealing with a highly innovative and/or highly relevant theme related to SSc. This grant will support pilot research that is likely to lead to more substantial research pilot grants from federal or non-federal sources. Applicants may request up to $75,000 per year for up to two years not to exceed $150,000.
The application receipt deadline is September 15th annually.
• Proposal reviews are conducted in December
• Announcement of awards are made in December
• Grants begin in January
• Eligibility: Applications may be submitted by domestic nonprofi t organizations, public and private such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories. Foreign organizations and institutions are only eligible for Established Investigator Grants. New Investigator Grants may not be used to support thesis or dissertation research or fellowship training. Applicants must have a doctorate degree in Medicine, Osteopathy, Veterinary Medicine, or one of the sciences and must have completed a postdoctoral fellowship by the grant award date.
Applicants for Established Investigator Grant must have been a Principal Investigator on grants from either the Scleroderma Foundation or other national, private or government agencies.

International Rett Syndrome Foundation Translational Research Program
Cycle 2 Letter of Intent due: July 1, 2013
IRSF announces the availability of HeART (Help Accelerate RTT Therapeutics) and ANGEL (Advanced Neurotherapeutic Grant of Excellence) grant awards to promote the development and testing of therapeutics to treat and reverse Rett syndrome (RTT) and its symptoms. These award mechanisms seek to facilitate the development and testing of novel therapeutics targeting the underlying pathology of the disorder, thereby leading to an amelioration of symptoms or ultimately a pharmacological reversal of RTT. Through these awards, IRSF seeks to foster academic and public-private partnerships and further facilitate drug discovery, development and testing.
IRSF encourages novel research programs that broadly encompass the following areas of unmet need:
Design, synthesis and testing of potential disease modifying therapeutics to treat or reverse RTT
Testing of existing therapeutics both in vitro and in vivo to repurpose their use in RTT
Development and/or validation of in vitro and in vivo models of RTT for therapeutic testing
Development and/or validation of novel biomarkers for objective clinical trials outcome measures
Testing of IND-ready therapeutics in pilot clinical trials
IRSF encourages investigators to utilize the newly available IRSF SMART Library of compounds in their proposed studies.
HeART (Help Accelerate RTT Therapeutics) Grant Award
Goal: To provide seed funding for early stage drug discovery and development efforts.
Funding: The maximum funding level for HeART grant awards is $150,000 for two years.
HeART grant awards are provided for cell-based assay development, early-stage drug discovery and development, early stage medicinal chemistry efforts on high value candidate therapeutics, cell-based screening of candidate therapeutics and follow-on early-stage in vivo testing. Grant applications for exploratory studies towards development of biomarkers or objective clinical outcome measures will also be considered.
ANGEL (Advanced Neurotherapeutic Grant of Excellence) Grant Award
Goal: To provide funding for the later stages of translational research.
Funding: The maximum funding level for ANGEL grant awards is $300,000 per year for up to two years.
Proposals must be comprised of very specific programs focused on pre-clinical drug discovery and development or clinical testing of therapeutic candidates. This mechanism requires development of a milestone based research plan, interim reporting on milestones and interaction with IRSF staff prior to and during the award period. The budget and duration of funding are variable and continued funding will be based on satisfactory progress on milestones. Applications are usually solicited, however, unsolicited proposals will be considered. Preliminary inquiries are required to determine IRSF’s level of interest prior to submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI).
Frequency:
Awards will be made in two cycles in 2013.
Please Note: IRSF requires all applicants to use our online submission process.

American Academy of Implant Dentistry Research Foundation Research Grants Program
The American Academy of Implant Dentistry Research Foundation (AAIDRF) Research Grants Program is intended to provide limited support for meritorious dental implant research projects which include, but are not limited to, the following purposes:
• To conduct research which determines the feasibility of a larger research project. This may be described as the conduct of pilot studies of venture research. • To develop and test new techniques and procedures. • To carry out a small clinical or animal research project. • To analyze existing data.
Eligibility
Investigators from any scientific discipline and at any stage of their career may apply for a grant. These awards are appropriate for new investigators and those changing areas of research or resuming research careers.
Terms and Conditions of the Award
The proposed project may be related to, but the aims must be distinctly different from, those of pending grant applications. The request may be used to supplement projects currently supported by Federal or non-Federal funds or to provide interim support for projects under review.
Applicants may request up to $25,000 (total costs) for the entire budget to fund the project for up to a two-year grant period. Successful applicants who require additional time to perform the proposed research may request extensions of the grant period without additional funds. This grant is not renewable; however, grantees under this program are encouraged to apply for a regular Research Project Grant to a Federal agency, e.g., the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, the Veterans Administration, or the Department of Defense, to maintain continuity in their studies.
