Research
The Hereditary Disease Foundation supports research through several funding opportunities.
HDF Research Grants
One-year grants of $100,000 provide senior researchers with seed funding to enable them to collect the preliminary data needed to obtain major, long-term funding from other organizations, including NIH.
HDF Postdoctoral Fellowships
Two-year fellowships of $100,000/year fund the work of early-career scientists. These fellowships are intended to encourage and cultivate interest in Huntington’s disease research.
Transformative Research Awards
These million-dollar research awards, HDF’s largest grants, fund collaborative research teams to create innovative ways to study new pathogenic disease mechanisms and treatment modalities in Huntington’s disease.
