“Launching my clinical science career would not have gone as smoothly without my REF funding,” she shares. “I was able to work as a lead researcher very early in my career and, because the funding allowed me to finance my last two years of fellowship, I was able to fully invest myself in the research.”

The ACR REF/Lupus Research Institute Lupus Investigator Fellowship Award is part of the ACR Research and Education Foundation’s extensive awards and grants portfolio. This award encourages qualified physicians without significant prior research experience to develop a research career that will emphasize better understanding of systemic lupus erythematosus as a disease process affecting many individuals.
