PHA PROOF OF CONCEPT RESEARCH GRANTS

Awards

Two awards will be offered in 2013:

• The Jerry Wojciechowski Pulmonary Hypertension Proof of Concept Research Grant
• The Pulmonary Hypertension Association Proof of Concept Research Grant

These grants will support new research projects that are in the early exploratory and developmental stages and have the potential to lead to advances in the scientific understanding of PH. Proposed projects should result in preliminary data that will enable the investigator to apply for support for a larger, hypotheses-driven research project.

Applicants may request up to $25,000 in direct costs for one year to be used for salaries and/or supplies to conduct this research. Additionally, the grant will cover 10 percent of indirect (facilities and administrative) costs. Investigators based in the U.S. and abroad are encouraged to apply. PHA has contracted with the ATS Foundation for administrative services for this program.

Target audience

Investigators who are interested in pulmonary hypertension research.

Application

The application period for grants from the Proof of Concept Fund is currently closed. Letters of Intent are generally accepted during the first quarter of the calendar year.
