FRANK J. TUSA PILOT AWARD FOR RESEARCH IN HEPATIC ENCEPHALOPATHY

American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) Foundation

The purpose of this award is to support new, highly innovative research ideas that focus on interventions to improve outcomes for persons living with Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) from liver diseases. Responsive projects will address highly innovative research ideas that have a clear potential to produce high-impact results, but that have little or no preliminary data to successfully compete for funding from other sources. This award is not intended to support ongoing research in the applicant’s laboratory, but rather support new ideas or approaches that have not previously been studied.

AASLD Foundation is soliciting innovative, small-scale exploratory research grant proposals focused interventions to improve outcomes for persons living with Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) from liver diseases. Funding is meant to allow investigators to test new ideas or methods to gather sufficient data to apply for longer-term grants. Projects must include direct clinical interaction (clinical), patient clinical data (outcomes), or patient samples (translational). Proposed research may include pragmatic studies. Applicants will be evaluated based upon their background, their commitment to a career in hepatology research, the scientific merit of their research project and the environment in which they will conduct the project.

• Project feasibility, an appropriate environment to conduct the project, and relevant collaborators will strengthen the application.

• Work proposed must clearly be able to be accomplished in one year.

• Highly innovative, high-risk/high-reward projects will be prioritized.
