Grants Cycle
The grants program has an annual cycle, starting with letters of intent (LOIs) and progressing to applications, reviews, funding decisions, and reporting:
Grant Reporting Requirements
- PSC Partners staff conduct internal assessments on the grants program’s impact, progress, and areas for growth.
- Grant recipients provide a lay summary for the PSC Partners website and a first-year progress report for SMAC to review.
- Second-year funding is contingent upon a successful review of the progress report.
- Grant recipients complete the 2nd year of the research project and submit a final report.
PSC Partners Annual Research Grant Awards
Every year, based on recommendations from the Scientific/Medical Advisory Committee (SMAC) and Community Reviewers, the Board of Directors of PSC Partners reviews all applications and funds the most promising PSC-related studies. In 2024, we announced funding for four international studies, and our affiliate PSC Partners Canada announced funding for one Canadian study. PSC Partners and affiliate PSC Partners Canada offer grants to conduct research that addresses an important and novel, basic or clinical research question related to PSC and closely associated diseases (such as inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and cholangiocarcinoma). Our Research Grants Program seeks to encourage investigators to conduct research in promising new areas, with the goal that data generated will lead to federal (NIH) or external international funding.
