Description
The Transformational Science Grant, offered by the Dravet Syndrome Foundation (DSF), is the largest standing grant in DSF’s portfolio and is designed to support high-impact, innovative research directly relevant to Dravet syndrome. This mechanism is intended for projects with strong potential to significantly advance the field or clinical care, such as those addressing fundamental disease mechanisms, developing new models, or overcoming major barriers in gene therapy or disease-modifying interventions. Projects should align with DSF’s mission to drive progress toward better treatments and ultimately a cure for Dravet syndrome.
