2008 CRN Call for Proposals

The Cystinosis Research Network is pleased to announce its 2008 Call for Research Proposals. Proposals may be submitted to CRN for review and consideration. CRN utilizes a Scientific Review Board comprised of leading experts on the disease of cystinosis which reviews grant proposals and submits funding recommendations to the CRN Executive Committee. More specifically, the SRB provides independent, objective review and recommendations regarding each research proposal utilizing grant review guidelines established by the CRN Executive Committee and in accordance with the mission of the organization.

Priority is given to interventional research, both clinical and basic, that will lead to improved treatments for cystinosis. New investigators are particularly encouraged to apply. The Chairperson of the Scientific Review Board summarizes its recommendations and presents them to the CRN Executive Committee, which then votes on each proposed project.

Proposals must be submitted by June 01, 2008. Qualified proposals will be reviewed during the annual Scientific Review Board meeting in early August.
