Jerome Lejeune Foundation Grants Program
The Jerome Lejeune Foundation is the world’s oldest and largest private funder of research into treatments for intellectual disabilities of genetic origin, especially, but not limited to, Down syndrome. The Foundation’s specific research interest is to discover a means of treating genetic intellectual disabilities in order to improve the memory, speech, and cognition of patients. Researchers who are working in basic or applied science and who have genetic intellectual disabilities (Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, Cri-du-Chat syndrome, rare chromosomal anomalies, Rett syndrome, Williams Beuren,...

International Rett Syndrome Foundation Basic Research Grant Program
IRSF announces the availability of Regular Research grants for international biomedical research to promote the understanding of MeCP2 in the pathogenesis of the neurobehavioral phenotype of Rett syndrome (RTT). We seek to gain a better understanding of the underlying pathology of the disorder leading to an amelioration of the symptoms and a cure for RTT. IRSF seeks to encourage research that encompasses innovative therapeutic approaches and state of the art diagnostic techniques. IRSF encourages applications within the following emphasis areas: Understanding the role of MeCP2 during normal brain development ...
