Description
The Progeria Research Foundation (PRF) Research Grants program funds scientific projects that seek to advance knowledge and develop new treatments or a cure for Hutchinson-Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS, or Progeria). The program operates through two main pathways: (1) a proactive approach where PRF identifies critical research needs and solicits expert laboratories, and (2) an investigator-driven pathway where researchers may submit proposals at any time. Funding is focused on translational projects, particularly those likely to lead to clinical treatment trials within five years, including preclinical and clinical studies, as well as the development of therapies or outcome measures.
