Deadline:  February 29, 2012 (Letter of Intent)

Amount:  $1,000,000

The program welcomes novel, hypothesis- or discovery-driven proposals in human and/or animal model-based lupus research. The research proposal must aim to uncover the fundamental causes of lupus and present a compelling vision of how the discovery would lay the groundwork for a potential cure or prevention, as opposed to suppressive treatments for lupus. Continuations of long-term projects will not be considered.
