Description
The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR) Grant Program funds research aimed at understanding and treating Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and Schaaf-Yang syndrome (SYS). The program seeks high-risk, high-reward projects with the potential to improve clinical outcomes or lead to new interventions for these syndromes. FPWR welcomes applications from academic, government, non-profit, and for-profit organizations worldwide. Both established investigators and those new to the field are encouraged to apply, particularly if their work aligns with FPWR’s mission to eliminate the challenges of PWS and SYS through research and therapeutic development.
