The FSHD Society offers investigator-initiated research grants to support basic, translational and clinical-based research in facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD). The application process begins with the submission of a brief Letter of Intent (LOI) describing the aims and objectives of the proposal. LOIs are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Once approved, investigators will be invited to submit a full proposal for consideration and review by the FSHD Society's Scientific Advisory Board (SAB). 

• Letters of Intent (LOI) due by Monday, June 13, 2022
  • LOIs are reviewed on an ongoing basis, so get yours in early!
• Grant proposals (by invitation) due by Wednesday, July 6, 2022
• Award recipients will be notified in October 2022.

Please note that preference will be given to postdoctoral trainees, clinical fellows and younger faculty establishing their first independent laboratory (less than 5 years). More established researchers should allow their postdocs and fellows to apply for these awards directly, while providing mentorship and guidance for a successful outcome to the proposal. The FSHD Society will no longer support pre-doctoral training fellowships.
