American Society of Transplantation/Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Faculty Grant (For diabetes-related applications)
This is a two-year grant ($40,000/year) for Junior Faculty (basic or clinical science).
This grant is co-sponsored by AST and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (JDRF) to specifically support research targeted to the application of transplantation to the understanding and treatment of juvenile onset (i.e., type I) diabetes mellitus (e.g., the studies of islet transplantation, autoimmunity, etc.).
Appropriate applications in the general pool of the AST Faculty Grants will be considered for the AST/JDRF Grant if no Fellowship Grant applications of sufficiently high quality are reviewed.
To be considered for the AST/JDRF Grant, individuals applying for the AST Basic Science or Clinical science grants, whose proposal pertains to diabetes should check the appropriate box on the front page of the application. Checking this box will ensure that the application is considered for this additional grant which will increase chances for funding.
The highest scoring grant application in the general pool of Fellowship Grants that pertains to diabetes will be selected for this grant.
Funding of this grant will be dependent upon the budgetary constraints of the two co-sponsoring organizations. The application, review and funding process for the general pool of the AST Faculty Grants will apply to this specialty grant.
IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: The AST will not assume responsibility for any clinical study funded by the AST Awards and Grants Program. Such proposals must be IRB-approved. Any responsibility will be assumed by the P.I. and the funded institution.
Application deadline: Midnight Eastern Time on Friday, November 21, 2008.
