  2. History • Steering committee in March 2005 received an application for funds to support a research project • No mechanism to address this despite one of main aims of GRAPPA • Research committee established to receive and assess applications for funding • Identified 2 dermatologists and 2 rheumatologists • Call for proposals with short (3 weeks) closing date • 2005 budget identified as 50K dollars

  3. Research committee • Chair • Philip Helliwell • Rheumatologists • Peter Nash • Eric Ruderman • Dermatologists • Richard Langley • Alan Menter

  4. Proposals • 11 proposals received • Total amount of funding requested 266K • Proposals assessed in terms of • relevance to GRAPPA (filter question) • significance and innovation (0-7) • scientific quality (0-7) • ability and track record of applicants/site to conduct research project (0-7)

  6. Scores including PSH evaluation

  7. Application # 1 Lubrano and colleagues, Italy: Validity of the Modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (M-SASSS) and of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index (BASRI) for the radiological assessment of axial involvement in Psoriatic Arthritis. 10,000 dollars

  12. Recommendations • Fully fund first application • Part fund the next 4, as all received closely similar scores • This results in the (equitable) distribution of 10K dollars to each of the first five applications
