Development of new effective therapies for rare diseases
Published by European Commission (EC)
GrantRare DiseaseThis topic aims at supporting activities that are enabling or contributing to one or several expected impacts of destination 3 “Tackling diseases and reducing disease burden”. To that end, proposals under this topic should aim for delivering results that are directed, tailored towards and contributing to some of the following expected outcomes:
Researchers and developers make the best use of the state-of-the-art knowledge and resources for a fast and effective development of new therapies for rare diseases.
Researchers and developers increase the development success rate of therapies for rare diseases by employing robust preclinical models, methods, technologies, validated biomarkers, reliable patient reported outcomes and/or innovative clinical trials designs.
Developers and regulators move faster towards market approval of new therapies for rare diseases (with currently no approved treatment option) due to an increased number of interventions successfully tested in late stages of clinical development.
Healthcare professionals and people living with a rare disease get access to new therapeutic interventions and/or orphan medicinal products.
Research Grant for Rett Syndrome
Published by International Rett Syndrome Foundation
GrantRett SyndromeIRSF believes that research into a variety of Rett and Rett-related topics is necessary to create treatments and eventual cures for every individual living with Rett syndrome. We proudly invest in such research at every stage: from basic science that can change the way we think about MeCP2 to clinical research that directly impacts potential treatments. We also help connect Rett researchers with external funding opportunities.
