Funding Amounts: Over $5 million funded through the POTS Research Fund to date
Summary: Supports medical research on autonomic disorders to advance understanding of dysautonomia and develop more effective treatments and cures.
Description
Dysautonomia International supports medical research that advances understanding of autonomic disorders and brings more effective treatments and cures closer. The organization identifies research funding as its highest priority and invites researchers worldwide to apply through an annual call for proposals. Past awards have supported research studies and equipment for autonomic laboratories.
Its research funding spans postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), Long COVID, and other forms of dysautonomia. The Long COVID Research Fund focuses on biological causes and treatments, particularly dysautonomia associated with Long COVID. The broader research effort also promotes patient participation in clinical trials and other studies, including research conducted in clinical settings, at home, or through local doctors’ offices.
