Complex Lymphatic Anomalies
Young Investigator Pilot Grant Opportunity
The Orphan Disease Center CLA Young Investigator award is a one-year grant designed to support early career researchers, such as postdoctoral and clinical fellows or instructors, pursuing promising research ideas related to lymphatic anomalies including Gorham Stout Disease (GSD), Generalized Lymphatic Anomaly (GLA), Kaposiform Lymphangiomatosis (KLA) and Central Conducting Lymphatic Anomaly (CCLA). These grants aim to cultivate the best and brightest researchers of the future who demonstrate a commitment to a career in lymphatic research. This is a mentored award, and the proposed research project will be conducted by the awardee under the guidance of a scientific mentor. Proposals in all areas of lymphatic research are welcome from U.S. and international applicants.
