Call for Proposals
The International League of Associations for Rheumatology’s mission is to advance rheumatology in developing countries. The ILAR Executive Committee consists of the Presidents and Presidents-Elect of ACR, EULAR, PANLAR, APLAR and AFLAR. The collaboration of the leaders of these international organizations has resulted in a renewed commitment to support programs that lead to progress in the practice and education of rheumatology in countries where there is an exceptional need. As such, ILAR’s Executive Committee funded projects in 2009 from countries represented by PANLAR, APLAR, and AFLAR. ILAR’s intent in funding these projects is to provide seed money to help initiate meritorious projects that would eventually be eligible for other sources of funding.
Eligibility Requirements
Leagues of rheumatology associations, national rheumatology societies, universities and academic institutions, government agencies and individuals from institutions are all eligible to submit a proposal for consideration. Project proposals must clearly demonstrate that they address ILAR’s mission to advance rheumatology in developing countries in the areas of education and clinical practice. ILAR’s focus is specifically to advance the education and clinical practice of rheumatology in the developing world and therefore submitted proposals should demonstrate how they will impact improvements in education and/or the clinical practice of rheumatology.
