The Pulmonary Hypertension Association encourages PH professionals to apply for two research grants: the Health Disparities in PH Research and Early Career Mentored Scientist awards.

The Health Disparities in PH Research Award supports research that addresses early diagnosis, education and improving clinical outcomes and treatments for people with PH affected by health inequities. The grant funds up to $50,000 a year for two years. Apply by Oct. 23 at  ProposalCentral. Applicants with advanced degrees from institutions within and outside the U.S. may apply.

Applications will be evaluated on their responsiveness to health disparities, scientific merit and potential impact on PH research and clinical care. Submissions must include detailed research plans, budget justifications and institutional assurances.

The Early Career Mentored Scientist Award covers up to $65,000 for one year. Proposals must be PH-related research projects that have been favorably reviewed for a National Institutes of Health Early Career Award (K award) but not funded. The award provides bridge funding so the project can generate sufficient preliminary data to make it highly competitive when resubmitted to NIH. Apply by Nov. 6 on ProposalCentral.
