good news for vasculitis patients

Yay for more research!

The Vasculitis Foundation announced that it is accepting proposals for funding $100,000 worth of research in a 2-year time frame. This includes exploring the possibilities of information surrounding:

• etiology and pathogenesis
• epidemiology
• vascular inflammation
• vascular biology
• genetics
• diagnosis of disease and its subtypes
• management/treatment of vasculitis (chemotherapy, etc.)

Priority will be given to those with proposals that will cost under $50,000 in order to be able to fund multiple projects during this time. The submissions deadline will run till August 3, 2015. Recipients will be announced around December and the award financing begins in 2016.
