The CHARGE Syndrome Foundation’s Scientific and Clinical Research Grant Program supports high-quality research into the cause and treatment of CHARGE syndrome. Its biomedical focus includes new work on the syndrome’s etiology, genetic and molecular mechanisms, and treatment. Its clinical focus includes medical diagnosis, treatment, intervention, prevention, and support for individuals with medical, health, and behavioral issues and their families.
The program accepts proposals in basic, clinical, translational, or epidemiological research and encourages both new and established investigators to apply. Supported by Foundation donors, it aims to advance scientific understanding alongside clinical care and support. All proposals undergo peer review, with preference given to investigators who have not previously received Foundation funding.
