RSDSA Research Grant Application

Application deadline: November 1, 2005

The RSDSA Pain Research Fund supports clinical and basic research activities. The purpose of the Fund is to facilitate the completion of relevant research that will improve our understanding of the epidemiology, natural history, pathophysiology, pathomechanics, diagnosis and treatment of RSDS/CRPS-1.

RSDSA Research Granting Cycle

Research Grants are funded from July 1 through June 30 of each calendar year. The deadline for submission of a Research Grant Application is October 1 of the previous calendar year. The final decision on Research Grant funding is made by the RSDSA Board of Directors at its December meeting (generally the first week in each December). Applicants are notified of the Board's decision within 5 business days.

Periodically, RSDSA is asked to support a very promising research initiative that does not adhere to this solicitation and review timetable. The Chairman of the RSDSA Scientific Advisory Committee, at his discretion, convenes the Scientific Advisory Committee or an ad hoc committee to review such a Research Grant Application and advises the Board of Directors on the suitability of funding the proposed research.
