The Associazione Italiana Celiachia is releasing on December 19^th 2025 the ‘AIC Investigator Grant – Call for Proposals 2025’ which is aimed at awarding excellent Research Projects on celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis and non-celiac wheat sensitivity, proposed by highly qualified senior researchers (Principal Investigator Applicant) with proved and recognized international expertise in the field of celiac disease and/or dermatitis herpetiformis.
