About this program
The Rita Allen Foundation, in partnership with the U.S. Association for the Study of Pain, provides at least two annual awards of $150,000 over three years to early-career investigators conducting innovative basic research on pain mechanisms and new analgesic development. Applicants must hold a faculty-level appointment at a U.S. or Canadian institution, be within three years of starting a tenure-track or equivalent position, and demonstrate a commitment to pain research and distinguished achievement or exceptional promise. Candidates must also have committed institutional start-up funds and independent laboratory space; indirect costs are not supported. Applications for the 2027 award are expected to open in October 2026.
