Early-Stage Investigator Pilot Grant
In order to reduce the barrier to entry and facilitate their conduct of rare disease research, the ARISEN Early-Stage Investigator (ESI) Pilot Research Award invites applications from ESIs for pilot research projects that accelerate clinical research in rare diseases aligned with the consortium’s mission, including autoimmune encephalitis, Rasmussen syndrome, and new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE), including its subtype with prior fever, Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome (FIRES). Applicant eligibility is limited to ESIs according to the NIH ESI definition.* Applicants already pursuing research topics within the ARISEN portfolio and newcomers to rare disease research with relevant expertise are eligible to apply, provided they have ESI status at the time of the application deadline.
