Lupus Research Alliance Diversity in Lupus Research Postdoctoral Award
The Lupus Research Alliance Postdoctoral Award to Promote Diversity in Lupus Research ($170,000 over 2 years for fellows with no more than 4 years of postdoctoral training) is designed to attract qualified and promising underrepresented minority scientists and provides them with robust and sustained support that will help them generate scientific data and unique research ideas necessary to ultimately transition to an independent researcher role in areas that reflect the strategic research priorities of the Lupus Research Alliance, including defining lupus heterogeneity and stratifying patients by active disease mechanism to advance new therapeutics.
Letters of Intent due September 1, 2022.
2 years
$170,000
At the time of submission of the letter of intent and application, applicants must have an advanced degree (MD, PhD, DO, or equivalent) from an accredited institution and hold a postdoctoral or clinical fellowship at an academic, medical, or research institution in the United States or Canada.
Applicants must have no more than four years of postdoctoral research experience at the time of full application submission. Time spent conducting postgraduate clinical training that does not involve research does not contribute to the four-year research training limit. The LRA recognizes that personal circumstances can impact career timelines (e.g., care of a parent/spouse/child/dependent or personal health issues). Applicants who have taken leave from their career and thus fall outside the eligibility timeline should contact LRA staff before submitting a letter of intent to confirm eligibility.
Applicants must be members of a racial or ethnic group underrepresented in the science and engineering fields compared to their representation in the US population. For the purposes of this grant mechanism, these racial and ethnic groups are Blacks or African Americans, Hispanics or Latinos, Indigenous American Indians or Alaska Natives, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders.
There is no citizenship requirement.
