Upcoming Funding Opportunities
September 2022
National Ataxia Foundation, Seed Money Research Grants
Deadline:
- Grants up to $50,000
- Grants are awarded for one year only.
National Ataxia Foundation research grants are for new and innovative studies that are relevant to the cause, pathogenesis or treatment of the hereditary or sporadic ataxias. Research grants are offered primarily as “seed monies” to assist investigators in the early or pilot phase of their studies and as additional support for ongoing investigations on demonstration of need. It is hoped that these studies will be further developed to attract future funding from other sources.
