Grants

RESEARCH GRANT

CABRI is fully dedicated to actively researching new treatments for rare diseases. To support this endeavor, we offer research grants to specific principal investigators at academic research institutions who have a plan to extend the clinical or pre-clinical development of our mission.

Eligible applicants include domestic and international researchers alike, as well as domestic and international group collaborations. Research grants are open to investigators of any career stage who are capable of leading an independent research study and supervising personnel. Funds must be used solely for research. CABRI does not fund institutional overhead costs.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the year.

To apply for a CABRI research grant, please use our Research Proposal Application.
