This program funds early-stage investigators and postdoctoral fellows to advance research on tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The TSC Alliance aims to build a diverse, global pipeline of TSC researchers by supporting projects that address disease mechanisms, phenotypic variability, improved models, clinical biomarkers, and translational science. Both independent research grants and postdoctoral fellowships are available, with special awards for epilepsy-focused projects (Wong Family Foundation Research Award) and annually designated Keith Hall Research Grant Awards in areas of special interest. The Alliance prioritizes open science, rapid data sharing, and collaborative research.
