Call for Applications: Lupus Research Institute Distinguished Innovator Awards
Grant Application Deadline: May 16, 2013 The Lupus Research Institute (LRI) invites applications for its Distinguished Innovator Awards, a global program that will provide outstanding scientists with substantial support for up to four years to conduct novel research into the fundamental causes of lupus and so provide new directions toward a cure or prevention. Advances across many disciplines have led to novel treatments that aim to suppress the manifestations of lupus. Yet few interventions are being developed that seek to reverse or prevent the disease. LRI Distinguished Innovators will address this gap by p...

Request for Applications for Basic, Clinical, and Translational Neuropsychiatric Lupus Research
Letter of Intent Deadline: February 22, 2013 at 5 p.m. ET Award Amount: $120,000 Neuropsychiatric lupus (NPSLE) refers to manifestations of lupus within the central or peripheral nervous system that contribute to increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. Definitions and diagnostic criteria relevant to NPSLE have been utilized heterogeneously. This makes the reproducibility of findings and direct comparisons of studies from different groups difficult. In 1999, the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) provided revised nomenclature and case definitions for 19 NPSLE syndromes to help facilitate the ad...

Request for Applications for Basic, Clinical, and Translational Research on Stem Cells for Lupus
Award Amount: $120,000 Letter of Intent Deadline: February 22, 2013 at 5 p.m. ET In recent years, research on stem cells for lupus has been of increased interest. In particular, in the past decade, autologous, hematopoietic, and mesenchymal stem cell transplantation have been reported as a promising therapy to achieve treatment-free, long-term remission in people with lupus. However, this research is still in its infancy and further work is needed to clarify issues relevant to relapse, treatment-related toxicity, and the development of secondary autoimmune disorders in recipients of stem cells as a treatment f...
