Donations to the ASIG research program are used to:
Fund blood sample research which we hope will help to explain why some people develop the serious complications associated with scleroderma - $30 would cover the cost of one sample
Maintain the national database, a vital part of rare disease research - $250 would provide the hardware to link one researcher to the online database
Contribute to a scholarship for a PhD student - Rheumatology Consultants or Registrars who choose a career in research undertake a three-year research degree. ASIG is committed to sponsoring one student per year who is interested in focusing on scleroderma and contributing to a better understanding of this rare disease.
