CASE STUDY #2
 Richard
Silver, M.D., Professor, Medical University of South
Carolina. The Scleroderma Foundation research grant
program has provided valuable seed money to investigators
who, otherwise, might not have been able to obtain funding
to sustain their work. In this way, the Scleroderma
Foundation has been instrumental in nurturing the career
of many investigators including me. The Foundation's
investment has paid dividends not only by improving
our knowledge of scleroderma's pathogenesis, but also
by helping researchers to build their cases for larger
NIH funding.
One day
this should translate into rational and effective treatments
for patients.
