Awards & Grants — Funding Opportunities (Rheumatology Research Foundation)

About this program

The Rheumatology Research Foundation (RRF) funds a wide portfolio of grants and awards supporting rheumatology education, training, career development, and research—ranging from student and resident preceptorships and fellowship training awards to career development, investigator, and innovative research grants aimed at improving treatments for rheumatic diseases. Award sizes and durations vary widely, from modest scholarships ($1,000–$4,000) to multi-year research and investigator awards (up to $375,000), with targeted programs for physician-scientists, clinicians, fellows, MD/PhD students, health professionals, ACGME-accredited fellowship programs, and NP/PA partnerships. Eligibility, award terms, required materials (some programs require a letter of intent), and deadlines differ by award; applicants should review the Foundation’s funding pages for specific program criteria and submission dates.
