Information for Applicants
In the Arthritis Foundation’s ongoing commitment to better meet the needs of the 46 million Americans with doctor-diagnosed arthritis, we are currently re-evaluating our research grant program. Issues being considered include the timing of the application deadlines and grant start dates, the focus of the grant mechanisms and the overall program’s ability to fit with the goals of Vision 2010, the Foundation’s long-term plan. While we go through this re-evaluation process, all ongoing grants will continue to be paid through their cycles as usual. New grant mechanisms will be announced by mid-November, 2007, with the first applications being accepted for training awards. Check back here for updates.
