Project CASK, in collaboration with Orphan Disease Center, is seeking proposals to advance research that supports therapeutic development for CASK gene disorders. The project will consider applications that will make a significant impact on the CASK community and the prospects for accelerating therapeutic development in one of two categories:
1) Grants to expand the study of disease mechanisms or to support clinical research (at least 2 awards of $50,000 each for 12 months)
2) Grants for the development of potential therapeutic interventions (at least one award of up to $250,000 for two years)
All applicants must first submit a one-page Letter of Interest (LOI) to be reviewed for consideration of a full application submission, specifying the category ($50,000/1 year or $250,000/2 years).
The deadline for submitting the LOI is February 16, 2024, by 8pm EST.
