FSR's Research Grants Program is the nation's first and only privately funded program for sarcoidosis research. The FSR Scientific Advisory Board, which includes many preeminent sarcoidosis researchers and clinicians, oversees the Foundation’s independent research program.

The Foundation is committed to focusing our funding efforts on critical gaps facing sarcoidosis research both in maturing innovative research and luring new investigators to the field. Learn more about past recipients.
