The Sjögren’s Foundation strives to foster research that will have the greatest potential impact on Sjögren’s patients. An important way in which the Foundation strives for change is to promote innovative research that will have the greatest impact on the lives of those who have this prevalent and devastating disease.
The Sjögren’s Foundation Research Grants Program places a high priority on both clinical and basic scientific research into the cause, prevention, detection, treatment, and cure for Sjögren’s, with opportunities open to both junior and senior-level investigators.
We are proud to offer investigators a variety of funding mechanisms, including two new opportunities beginning in FY24. Read more and review the policies for each below.
Research grant applications for the Pilot and High Impact Grants will be accepted from Nov. 1, 2023 through Feb. 1, 2024.
The Sjögren's Foundation High Impact Research Award
Funding Amount: $100,000

The Sjögren's Foundation Pilot Research Award
Funding Amount: $50,000
Duration: 1 - 2 years
This award assists investigators in conducting feasibility studies, collecting preliminary data, or other research assistance necessary to advance their project and should help prepare them to pursue additional, larger forms of grant funding.
