We provide awards primarily for translational and clinical research grants related to ataxia-telangiectasia. One and two-year projects are funded up to a maximum total direct cost of $75,000 per year. In rare instances, if a project involves the later phases of developing a therapy, we may consider a larger budget for which we would create a specific fundraising campaign.
Junior investigators are particularly encouraged to apply for grants, as we are eager to bring new people into the A-T research field who may commit their career and labs to this disease long into the future. We welcome fresh insights.
A Letter of Intent is required prior to submission of a full-length proposal.
Grants are reviewed on a rolling basis and awarded quickly compared to most other grant-giving organizations. In most cases, a grant decision will be made and communicated to the applicant within 90 days after the grant is submitted.
