The Scleroderma Foundation is the leading nonprofit supporter of scleroderma research, funding over $1 million in new grants each year to find the cause of and cure for scleroderma.

The Program

Studies may be carried out at the molecular, cellular, animal, or patient level. All grants will be evaluated by a Peer Review committee for scientific merit and relevance to scleroderma.

The Scleroderma Foundation is interested in fostering development of innovative and high quality research by new and established investigators in fields related to scleroderma. To accomplish this goal, two distinct research grants are being offered titled "Scleroderma Foundation New Investigator Grant," and "Scleroderma Foundation Established Investigator Grant."
