A Foundation Building Strength offers research grants to support scientists focused on Nemaline Myopathy (NM), a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder. The foundation aims to accelerate discoveries that can benefit the NM community by funding innovative projects and providing access to established NM experts, disease models, and published research. Researchers gain opportunities to collaborate within a network dedicated solely to NM research and to utilize valuable resources such as murine models that replicate moderate human disease phenotypes.
