The mission of the Hereditary Disease Foundation is to fund the most promising, innovative, and paradigm-changing research aimed at curing Huntington’s disease. This genetic brain disorder causes irreversible declines in mood, memory, and movement control, with no current cure or treatment available. By focusing on this single-gene disorder, the foundation hopes to unlock potential cures for other brain disorders such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and Lou Gehrig’s (ALS) diseases.
The grant program from the Hereditary Disease Foundation is designed to provide experienced researchers with seed funding crucial for preliminary data collection, with the ultimate goal of securing long-term funding from other entities like the National Institutes of Health. Specifically, the program offers one-year grants of $100,000 to support research into Huntington’s disease and potentially related brain disorders. Selected projects showing substantial progress may be considered for a one-year funding renewal for up to an additional $100,000, based on a competitive review process.
