ALF & AASLD 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 cures.

Since 1979, the Research Awards Program has provided more than $20.1 million for research. More than 650 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.

The 2009 Research Award winners have been announced!

2009 Research Award Recipients

In April 2009, ALF announced the winners of its 2009 Research Awards Program. Fourteen scientists representing eleven medical and research institutions were awarded nearly $1,000,000 to support their research in the areas of Alagille syndrome, hepatic cirrhosis and fibrosis, biliary atresia, hepatitis C, liver grafts, polycystic liver disease, hepatic carcinoma and primary biliary cirrhosis.

Since the inception of its Research Awards Program, ALF has provided more than $22 million in funding to nearly 700 award recipients.

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