Description
The IFCR Grant Program, administered by the International Foundation for CDKL5 Research, funds projects that advance the scientific understanding and treatment of CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD). The program offers two main tracks: the Basic Research Track, which supports studies on CDKL5 function, disease mechanisms, and improved disease models; and the Clinical Research Track, which emphasizes understanding the natural history of CDD, developing clinical biomarkers and outcome measures, and building collaborative research infrastructure. The program aims to accelerate the discovery of transformative, disease-modifying strategies for the CDD community.
