Description
The Postdoctoral Fellowship Grant from the Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF) is designed to support early-career scientists working on research that advances understanding, treatment, and prevention of Dravet syndrome. The program aims to foster the next generation of researchers committed to uncovering disease mechanisms, developing new models, and identifying innovative interventions for Dravet syndrome and its comorbidities, including sudden unexpected death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Projects must align with DSF’s priority research areas and be directly relevant to Dravet syndrome.
