Twice a year, the Jerome Lejeune Foundation launches calls to support fundamental, translational and clinical research projects that will strengthen the understanding, deepen the knowledge and/or will explore new therapeutic approaches for Down syndrome and other genetic diseases with intellectual disability.
The Spring call is dedicated to research in both Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities from genetic origin, while the Autumn call is exclusively dedicated to Down Syndrome research.
There are two types of funding schemes:
Pilot or exploratory grants: For early stage research projects built on preliminary data or small projects that complement larger primary projects.
Advanced grants: For larger breakthrough projects with substantial preliminary data.
Deadline: Feb. 24, 2023; Aug. 15, 2022
