## What the grant funds

Summary: This funding mechanism supports planning and development activities and pilot studies that will generate preliminary data and demonstrate feasibility for achieving the aims of a future interventional study.

This funding mechanism allows for phase 0/1 clinical trials, if appropriate. The mechanism does not allow for phase 2/3 clinical trials or animal studies. Distinctive Features: • Preliminary data are permitted but not required. • Applications must include at least one lupus consumer advocate as a member of the research team. • An individual may be named as Principal Investigator (PI) on only one application per LRP award mechanism (Idea Award, Impact Award, TVDA, TVA), for a maximum of four applications to the FY26 LRP.
