Description
The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR) Grant Program provides funding for research projects that aim to advance the understanding and treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS). The program welcomes proposals from researchers worldwide and encourages both established investigators and those new to the field. FPWR prioritizes innovative, high-risk/high-reward, and early-stage projects that could lead to new interventions or therapies for individuals affected by PWS and SYS. Applications are reviewed for scientific merit, relevance to the PWS/SYS community, and alignment with FPWR’s mission and funding priorities.
