The SATB2 Gene Foundation is pleased to announce our Research Grant Program. This grant program is open to research investigators affiliated with an academic institution, hospital system, non-profit institution, or other accredited research institutions based in the United States or internationally. Eligible applicants include post-doctoral fellows, clinical fellows, researchers, physicians, or other associated research professionals with faculty appointments or research positions.
To drive research momentum, the SATB2 Gene Foundation Board is highly interested in research proposals that would create pilot data sufficient to support larger scale grant submissions to other funding sources. In addition, projects that provide a foundation to support future potential therapeutic interventions, such as enhancing the understanding of measuring SATB2-related effects, will be of greater interest to the review committee.
Additional research priorities include projects on SATB2 function and expression, variations in clinical phenotypes, and symptomatic and/or curative therapeutic interventions. We support projects that gather foundational knowledge about SATB2 function, and we also support projects that aim for tangible and immediate clinical applicability.
Deadline: April 10, 2025

Indirect costs are not supported. We’re happy to fund projects as low as $1,000, and if more money is required for a specific project, please reach out in advance.
