Since 2003, Hemophilia of Georgia has funded physician researchers to conduct translational research on bleeding disorders and their complications. Each grant is for $75,000 a year, renewable for up to five years, with an additional $7,500 per year for indirect costs. The grant requires an 80% time commitment to bleeding disorder-related research.
Through this program, Hemophilia of Georgia hopes to help create the next generation of hemostasis researchers. This funding will allow a physician who has completed research training to advance to the status of an independent investigator. Our goal is for the achievements of these scientists to improve the lives of people with bleeding disorders.
Applications are accepted year round. Applicants must have an MD degree and have a minimum of three years of research experience. Because the purpose of this grant program is to further the development of beginning researchers, well-established scientists (including recipients of NIH R01 or NSF grants) are not eligible to apply.
Applicants must be U.S. citizens, have permanent resident status (hold an I-551), or be a non-citizen national. Applicants must be sponsored by a non-federal public or private non-profit institution that conducts health related research within the U.S. and its possessions. A full-time faculty appointment is required throughout the award period.
Prospective applicants should download the grant Policies and Rules and the Application, available in PDF and Microsoft Word.
Questions about the application process can be addressed to Hemophilia of Georgia’s Director of Training, Research & Advocacy, Jeff Cornett, via phone (770-518-8272) or email gjcornett@hog.org.
