Study Subject(s): Functional Genomics and Molecular Genetic Pathways
Course Level: Research
Scholarship Provider: Lupus
Scholarship can be taken at: USA
Eligibility:
Applications are open to investigators working at established research institutions (both for profit and not-for profit) as well as investigators at state health agencies, the FDA, VA and at intramural divisions of NIH.
Applications may be submitted by investigators working anywhere in the world. Non-U.S. applicants whose projects involve human subjects must work at institutions that have human subjects committees that operate in a substantially similar manner to a U.S. Institutional Review Board.
Scholarship Open for International Students: Yes
Scholarship Description:
Applications submitted should focus on two principal areas:
(1) functional validation to determine which candidate genes/variants identified in human lupus have an authentic role in the disease and
(2) detailed elucidation of the molecular pathways modulated by these candidate genes/variants identified in human lupus.
There are public resources available to facilitate functional validation of genes/variants involved in lupus.
How to Apply: By electronically
Scholarship Application Deadline: February 15, 2012
