Description
The 2026 Wilma Shastry PAH Research Award competition promotes innovative research related to the diagnosis, treatment, and/or mechanism of disease for people living with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). Proposals should be creative and with the potential to benefit people living with this PAH. The scope of the research proposal is restricted to PAH diagnosis, treatment, biology, and respiratory health.
Catalyst grants are scalable research projects that can include pilot studies, feasibility studies, or translational studies. Research projects must be new and not the continuation of an existing project. Although the long-term goals for a project may extend beyond the means and timeline of this grant, the results of Catalyst projects should enable the development of funding proposals that are eligible for submission to national or international peer-reviewed competitions within 1 year after the end of the Catalyst award period.
The total funding amount available for the 2026 competition is $40,000. Two awards will be offered to the highest-ranking candidates chosen by the Review Committee.
The funding is for one year and is non-renewable.
