Hello all.  My name is Tara Henderson, a diagnosed celiac, and I work at the
University of Utah.  My job here consists of finding funding for our faculty
members doing research here at the university.  I receive a ton of
information on upcoming federal grant opportunities.  Well, today I received
one requesting proposals for researching Celiac Disease!  I am posting this
information for any of the medical doctors on this listserv that would
possibly be interested, as well as everyone else on the list just in case
they may know someone.

This is very exciting to see that the government is recognizing the need for
research to be conducted on our disease.  One small step.
