Fall Seed Grant 2023 in partnership with Patients Associations – Calls for Applications

The Fall Seed Grant 2023 initiative, in synergy with Patients Associations, is now open. The initiative aims to fund seed research projects through:

5 calls, for 12-month proposals with a maximum budget of 50.000 €, focusing on the following rare genetic diseases:

  • Autosomal Recessive Spastic Ataxia of Charlevoix-Saguenay (ARSACS)
  • CDKL5 Deficiency Disorder (CDD)
  • Chronic Intestinal Pseudo-obstruction (CIPO)
  • SCN8A-neurodevelopmental disorders
  • SLC6A1-related neurodevelopmental disorders

and one call, for 18-month proposals with a maximum budget of 70.000 €, focusing on

  • Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome (PHS)

For these monothematic calls, Fondazione Telethon established a collaboration agreement with the Patients Associations

These calls will allow generating data and creating new knowledge to pave the road for the development of new therapeutic approaches in the rare genetic disease field.

Investigators - working either in public or private Italian non-profit research Institutions, including the Telethon Institutes - are eligible regardless of their funding status with Fondazione Telethon ETS.

Applicants can apply and submit only one project within the Fall Seed Grant 2023 initiative, as Lead Applicant.
