Description: |
Qualified Investigators will have already established an independent research program. They will usually hold a full-time academic appointment as an Assistant Professor, early Associate Professor, or the equivalent, and will have national-level, independent funding. Early Excellence Awards are not intended as start-up funds for investigators at the outset of their careers. Rather, they are intended to support investigators who have demonstrated exceptional early accomplishment as independent investigators, permitting the expansion of their work into the field of asthma. In supporting basic research, the Program seeks to break new ground. To this end, it is particularly interested in attracting investigators from outside the field to apply their expertise to the study of asthma. Prior research in asthma is not required. Investigators from within the field are eligible for awards, but they must demonstrate that their proposed work represents a departure from their current and past research. Because the Program seeks to develop new paths in asthma research, innovation and risk are strongly encouraged. |

Application Details: |
The proposed work should be directed towards uncovering basic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of asthma. We wish to support work from a broad range of investigative fields. Studies may involve laboratory or clinical investigation, including genetic and epidemiological studies, but the Foundation will not sponsor therapeutic trials. Studies involving human materials must be approved and governed by the sponsoring institution. Applications must be received at the Program office no later than 5:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time on the deadline date in order to be considered. The next deadline is February 8, 2012. This deadline applies to the paper copies and the electronic submission.INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM |
