Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR): Grant Program -LOI’s

Supporting research to advance the understanding and treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS).
FPWR accepts applications in all areas of research relevant to PWS, but we are particularly interested in supporting projects
that will lead to new interventions to alleviate the symptoms associated with PWS.
Funding priority areas include:
– Genotype to phenotype: understanding PWS genetics / how loss of PWS-critical region genes leads to the phenotype
– Neurobiology of hunger / feeding behavior and metabolism in PWS.
– Neurobiology of cognition, maladaptive behavior, and mental health in PWS.
– Clinical care research: evaluation of existing drugs and interventions to improve the significant clinical concerns in PWS.
– Therapeutics development for PWS- Genetic therapies; novel or repurposed pharmaceuticals; and devices.
Funding: Up to $150K for 18 months (with the possibility of a second grant period of 18 months of funding upon competitive renewal, 8% Overhead).
