unit’s development office. Note that appropriate routing for some opportunities may be UA Sponsored Projects Services and/or the VP of the Office of Research & Discovery, and in cases of limited submission, selection via the Senior VP for Research & Discovery.
If routing is most appropriate through the GIFT Center please remember that the GIFT Center requires three days prior to the mailing deadline to review a charitable grant proposal; electronic proposals and those with signature requirements require a week.
To initiate review before your submission, send a draft proposal and funder guidelines to your GIFT Center contact (if applicable) and to

The Alport Syndrome Foundation (ASF), in partnership with the Pedersen Family Foundation and the Kidney Foundation of Canada, has issued a Request for Proposals for basic science and clinical research on the natural history, biochemical basis, and treatment
of Alport Syndrome, a genetic condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. Through this RFP, ASF and its partners aim to advance the knowledge of, develop effective treatment protocols for, and discover a cure for Alport
Syndrome. Projects that address the repurposing of existing approved drugs for the treatment of Alport Syndrome, the hearing-loss aspects of Alport Syndrome, and the development and testing of gene-therapy approaches are encouraged. ASF expects to award two
one- or two-year grants of up to $100,000 in 2016. These funds should be considered as seed funding for the testing of initial hypotheses and the collection of preliminary data leading to successful long-term funding by the National Institutes of Health, the
Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), and/or other major funding institutions around the world.<br>

The purpose of IFER’s Fellowship Program is to provide financial incentives to graduate students in science that encourage them at the earliest stages of their career to integrate innovation and discovery with ethics and respect for animals. Fellowships are
awarded to those candidates whose program of study shows the greatest potential to replace the use of animals in science. Graduate Fellowships to develop alternatives to the use of animals in research, testing and education are open to students enrolled in
Master’s and Ph.D. programs in the sciences, and human or veterinary medicine. Fellowships will also be considered for graduate students in other fields, such as education, psychology, humanities, journalism, and the law, for projects that show promise to
increase public awareness or to promote changes in the legal system or public policy regarding the use of animals in research, testing, and education.<br>
