Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), the Lupus Research Alliance, and the National Multiple Sclerosis Society have joined forces to identify common mechanisms of autoimmunity. These three leading autoimmune disease organizations are once again jointly funding research projects looking at common underlying disease mechanisms.
Proposals are sought from academic or industry applicants for novel one-year pilot studies to investigate a mechanism underlying autoimmune disease, identify novel targets or mechanisms of autoimmune pathogenesis, validate therapeutic targets, or provide proof of concept for an innovative therapeutic strategy. Through the Insight Awards, Breakthrough T1D, Lupus Research Alliance, and the National MS Society seek to co-fund projects that will obtain more specific insights into the commonalities and differences of immune pathways that govern autoimmune disease processes and lay the groundwork for bringing together investigators from across autoimmune fields and disciplines.
