MDF Launches 2025 Pilot Grant Applications

Published on Wed, 11/27/2024

We have launched a new round of our Pilot Grants Program! This program offers $50,000 in one-year support for researchers focused on myotonic dystrophy (DM). The goal is to provide DM researchers with the opportunity to explore innovative ideas and conduct preliminary investigations. This funding can help generate essential data and preliminary findings, laying the groundwork for larger-scale research projects.

Applications are due by January 24, 2025, and the competition is expected to be strong. If you are a DM researcher, now is the time to apply and push forward your innovative research ideas, paving the way for future breakthroughs!

These exciting funding opportunities underscore our ongoing dedication to supporting cutting-edge research that will lead to improved treatments and outcomes for individuals living with myotonic dystrophy.

The Pilot Grants Program underscores MDF's commitment to fostering a culture of innovation in DM research. By investing in visionary projects and supporting emerging talent, the program aims to accelerate progress toward improved treatments and outcomes for individuals living with myotonic dystrophy.
