The American Asthma Foundation is seeking applications from 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.
The Program supports basic research at two levels:
Senior Investigator Awards
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. Funding is awarded at US $750,000, (US $250,000 per year for three years), beginning July 1, 2012.
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. 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. Funding is awarded at US $450,000 ( $150,000 per year for three years), beginning July 1, 2012.
Eligibility
Investigators from nonprofit research organizations in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Israel, Sweden, or the United Kingdom may apply.
Applications Due: 1 February 2012
