The mission of the Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Foundation (KdVSF) is to accelerate the development of therapeutics for the treatment of Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS), aiming to improve the lives of those living with KdVS.
The Investigator Grant program by the Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Foundation is aimed at facilitating investigations that jumpstart research into KdVS, with the ultimate goal of laying the groundwork for future funding from various sources. This grant supports research that moves beyond describing KdVS towards developing therapeutics or a cure. Recipients are required to provide 6-month updates on their research progress. The program offers a budget of $40,000 USD for a one-year period to support these endeavors.
