CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: LLS and IFLI are jointly funding creative and ambitious r
 esearch and development proposals under the RAFL program. Research will be
  aimed to understand the fundamental biology of FL progression\, to develo
 p new targets and therapies\, and to launch clinical programs that can add
 ress the unmet FL patient needs. Ultimately\, the overarching goal is to a
 chieve a cure in which FL is eradicated\, and therapy can be discontinued.
 \n\nInnovative projects that have the potential for high impact in the fie
 ld of FL may cover discovery\, translational and clinical research. Succes
 sful candidates will be established investigators in FL or related fields 
 with demonstrated track-records of significant contributions. Cross-discip
 linary collaboration including industry partnership is encouraged. Teams m
 ay be strengthened with investigators who bring special expertise in epige
 netic or apoptotic control\, computational skills\, data science/AI\, anim
 al model development\, neoantigen discovery and antibody treatment to the 
 project in FL.\n\nResearch Focus Areas can be found here.\n\nThere are two
  funding mechanisms under this call:\n\n	Synergistic Team Awards (STA) wi
 ll support a coordinated\, focused and significant effort to understand ce
 ntral disease mechanisms and develop effective novel therapies in treating
  FL.\n	Translational Awards (TRL) will support translational research tha
 t moves potential therapeutic candidates toward clinical trials within 2-3
  years.\n\n\nFunding:\nSynergistic Team Awards (STA): up to $6.5 M\nTransl
 ational Awards (TRL): up to $1.75M\n\nDuration:     \nup to 5 years\n\
 nEligibility: The program welcomes applications worldwide from appropriate
  academic institutions and investigators of any nationality. Applicants mu
 st hold a PhD\, MD\, DVM\, or equivalent degree and must be affiliated wit
 h a nonprofit Institution at the time funding commences and for the durati
 on of the award. Applications may involve multiple institutions. Applicant
 s (PI) must be independent investigators affiliated with a non-profit Inst
