Description
The Clinical Research Grants from the Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF) are designed to fund established, independent investigators at academic or research institutions for clinical projects directly related to Dravet syndrome. The grants aim to advance knowledge of Dravet syndrome’s natural history, clinical features, patient outcomes, and comorbidities. Key priorities include research that develops or refines outcome measures, seeks to predict and prevent SUDEP (sudden unexpected death in epilepsy), or fosters the development of novel therapies to halt or prevent disease progression. Projects are evaluated for preliminary data, research design, feasibility, investigator qualifications, and overall impact, ensuring alignment with DSF’s mission to support research for better treatments and a cure.
