Objective
To support research proposals aligned with the Society’s new Strategic Plan 2020-2025: Accelerating Impact – Research Strategy which aims to identify research avenues that focus on areas of highest priority to patients and achieve the highest levels of scientific excellence and rigour. Applications must focus on innovative research efforts in the following priority areas:
- Pain research
- Osteoarthritis research
- Inflammatory arthritis
- Childhood arthritis
- Work-related research
Eligibility
There is a limit of one SOG application per Principal Investigator/Co-Principal Investigator in a competition.
NEW this year – A PI can hold only two Arthritis Society Canada-funded grants or awards across all Arthritis Society Canada or partnered competitions as PI/Co-PI at any time. PIs/Co-PIs can apply to only two competitions per year. Applications for subsequent funding can be submitted in the final year of a current grant.
