Description
The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR) Grant Program funds research projects aimed at advancing the understanding and treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS). The program prioritizes high-risk, high-reward, and early-stage research, supporting both junior and established investigators—including those new to the PWS/SYS field or seeking pilot funding for new directions. Projects should align with FPWR’s mission to develop new interventions and improve clinical outcomes for individuals with PWS and SYS. Applications are welcome from a range of research entities worldwide.
