We are a cause without borders. FSH Society research and fellowship grant awards provide vital start-up  funding for investigators in FSHD and research projects on FSHD. The research milestones and insights gained are demonstrably significant. The fellowship program allows innovative and entrepreneurial research to develop and ultimately to be able to attract funding from large funding sources such as the US National Institutes of Health (NIH). The FSH Society meets an important need in funding and developing new ideas and supporting new investigators in FSHD research by giving them the funds needed to develop data and to carry their ideas to the next stage of development. Without the FSH Society research and fellowships program, many key  initiatives in FSHD research might never have had the chance to begin.  Well over 300 peer-reviewed papers have been published by FSH Society-funded researchers. Since 1998, the FSH Society has transformed FSHD research. The field is on the verge of significant breakthroughs. It is essential to fund new i...
