2011 Research Awards Program

Research is integral to the work of the American Liver Foundation (ALF) and the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) and is essential to improving treatment and finding a cure.

Since 1979, the Research Awards Program has provided more than $23 million in research funding. Over 750 qualified scientists and physicians have pursued careers in liver disease research and treatment as a result of receiving ALF and AASLD grants early in their careers.

In April 2010, ALF announced the recipients of the 2010 Research Awards Program. Twelve scientists representing twelve medical and research institutions were awarded nearly $1,000,000 to support their research in the areas of acute liver failure, biliary fibrosis, hepatic inflammation, hepatitis C, liver cancer, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and non-viral hepatitis.

ALF is proud to support these research efforts and hopeful that they will bring us closer to finding a cure for liver disease.
