Mission
The IUGA Basic Science and Clinical Research Grants are designed to fund original research by an IUGA member or trainee. Annual grants will be granted, based on the Research Proposal, as judged by the Research and Development Committee. The Research Grant is designed to fund development of the proposed research projects including all materials and testing, statistical analyses, and services required to complete the research. IUGA will fund basic science as well as clinical research studies. In addition, IUGA funds applicants from Least Developed Countries (http://www.unohrlls.org/en/ldc/25/) for basic science or clinical research.
