Call for Projects

Lupus ABC seeks applications for projects aimed at addressing the most critical barriers to the development of lupus treatments in the pre-competitive setting. Projects supported by Lupus ABC are executed through Lupus ABC Working Groups (WGs), under the strategic direction of the Lupus ABC RC and LVC. Individuals whose proposals are selected will be invited to co-lead the relevant WG. Lupus ABC WGs have specific objectives and milestones and typically meet monthly, and more frequently as needed. End products are reviewed and endorsed by the Lupus ABC RC with input from the LVC.

Lupus ABC seeks projects that would uniquely benefit from the support of a collaborative, public-private partnership with regulatory science involvement and that are too complex for any single organization or group to accomplish.

Projects should help address challenges in lupus drug development that have the highest potential for improving the health outcomes of individuals with lupus. Letters of Intent are due October 3, 2025. Please see the 2025 Request for Proposals for additional information and how to apply.
