Our research program is focused on discovering and developing technologies for the diagnosis and treatment of a broad spectrum of rare diseases. The Institute awards milestone-based funding to support research projects. Research grant applications are invited twice a year and reviewed by the Institute’s Research Advisory Council . The council performs peer-review of grant applications, monitors progress, and offers advice and assistance to award recipients during the post-award period. The Council is also responsible for performing periodic reviews of the Institute’s Rare Disease Research Grant Program priorities.
