The Rare Disease Foundation just closed its most recent round of Microgrant allocations, with proposals received from across Canada. Watch this space to find out which research projects will be funded. In the coming weeks we will highlight some of our current and past research grant awardees as we lead up to Rare Disease Day on February 29th 2012!

Our Microgrant Program provides funding to inspired clinicians and researchers for patient-focused projects. Our goal is to support research that can directly impact the care and quality of life of a person with a rare diseae. Our grant requests are vetted by both a scientific advisory panel and a parent advisory panel - ensuring we remain true to our core values.
