Description
The Myotonic Dystrophy Foundation's DM Small Grants Program provides modest, targeted funding to facilitate the dissemination of research related to myotonic dystrophy (DM). The program supports costs associated with publishing in open-access journals and travel to scientific conferences for the presentation of DM research. The aim is to foster global access to DM research, encourage interdisciplinary collaboration, and accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into clinical applications that improve the lives of those affected by DM.
