Description: |
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. Because the Program seeks to develop new paths in asthma research, innovation and risk are strongly encouraged. The Program supports basic research at two levels:
Senior Investigators will have well-established research programs and an international reputation for their research. They will usually hold a full-time academic appointment as Professor, Associate Professor, or the equivalent. Early Excellence Awards. 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. Senior Investigators will receive US$250,000 per year for three years. Recipients of Early Excellence Awards will receive US$150,000 per year for three years. The number of awards each year is not fixed, and the proportion of Senior Investigator and Early Excellence Awards may vary. |

Application Details: |
The proposed work should be directed towards uncovering basic mechanisms in the pathogenesis of asthma. The ultimate goal is to find new approaches to prevent, treat and cure 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 Program will not sponsor therapeutic trials. Studies involving human materials must be approved and governed by the sponsoring institution. The application must be submitted both in paper copy and uploaded as a PDF on this website. Both the electronic copy and the paper copies must be received by the AAF Research Program office before the deadline. Applications will not be accepted by fax or email. The application submitted electronically must be identical to the paper version, with the exception of the signatures on the Application Cover Sheet. Signatures are required only on the original paper application, and not on the electronic version. Combine all sections of the application (items a.-i. above) into a single PDF file. Name your file using the following convention: lastname_firstname_2010.pdfINDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY THIS PROGRAM. |
