Funder: CCHS Network
Due Dates (Anticipated): June 2027 (Application deadline)
Funding Amounts: $50,000–$100,000 for one year; up to $50,000 for junior faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and residents
Summary: Supports basic, clinical, translational, technological, and epidemiological research to advance CCHS understanding, treatment, and quality of life.
Key Information: Applicants need a doctoral degree, a faculty appointment or equivalent, and demonstrated institutional support.
Description
The CCHS Network Research Award supports research that advances understanding of Congenital Central Hypoventilation Syndrome (CCHS) and improves the lives of patients and families. The Network seeks basic research into CCHS biology, translational development of innovative technologies or treatment modalities, and human studies involving the CCHS population. Clinical, technological, and epidemiological research are also within scope.
Priorities include the biology of central and peripheral respiratory mechanisms, translating basic findings into potential treatments, and healthcare improvements with real-world benefits for quality of life. Innovative, relevant research addressing CCHS biology, treatment, or life stages receives priority. Researchers new to CCHS are encouraged to bring perspectives grounded in their existing expertise, and applicants developing clinical or translational proposals are encouraged to consult with the Network.
