Description
The TSC Alliance Research Grant and Postdoctoral Fellowship Program is a competitive, two-stage funding opportunity supporting early-stage investigators and postdoctoral fellows worldwide who are advancing research in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). The program aims to deepen understanding of TSC biology, disease mechanisms, and potential therapies, with priority areas including phenotypic heterogeneity, signaling pathways, disease model improvement, and biomarker development. Special awards such as the Wong Family Foundation Research Award (for epilepsy-focused proposals) and the Keith Hall Research Grant Award (projects addressing adult TSC needs) are also available. The TSC Alliance promotes open science, requiring funded researchers to make data and findings broadly accessible to accelerate collaboration and progress.
