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.
