Trojanowska Awarded Research Grant by Scleroderma Foundation

Maria Trojanowska, PhD, BUSM professor of medicine, has been awarded a research grant by the Scleroderma Foundation’s Peer Review Committee for her work in “The Role of ER Stress in SSc-PAH.” She is one of six investigators to receive awards this year.

Dr. Trojanowska was presented with the Walter A. Coyle Memorial Research Grant Award, which is made possible through the generosity of the New England Chapter. This is the third research grant that the New England Chapter has sponsored since the debut of the Chapter Grant Funding program in 2009.

The Research Grant Funding Program was established in 1989. Since then, the Scleroderma Foundation has awarded funding to 199 proposals. Applications are judged by a group of their peers, guided by National Institutes of Health (NIH) protocol and criteria, to ensure that the strongest research proposals receive funding.
