Description
The Catalyst Research Grant, offered by the Sturge-Weber Foundation, is a postdoctoral fellowship designed to advance research that directly improves the lives of individuals affected by Sturge-Weber syndrome (SWS) and related conditions. The grant encourages scientific investigations in patient-oriented research, basic science, and translational studies, with a particular focus on neurological, ophthalmological, and dermatological aspects of SWS. Eligible research areas include disease mechanisms, biomarker and treatment development, epidemiology, behavioral science, and small clinical trials. All projects must align with the foundation’s mission to improve quality of life for those affected by SWS.
