The pilot grant is intended to encourage exploratory research, to develop and test exciting new hypotheses or research approaches that have the potential to significantly advance our understanding and/or treatment of CCLA, GLA, GSD, or KLA. Given the exploratory nature, no preliminary data are required but may be included if available. At the end of the pilot award, investigators are expected to use data generated during the award period to apply for additional funding.
