Seed Funding

The purpose of our microgrant program is to de-risk research spending and create tangible impact with minimal investments.

We detest research blackholes, where millions of dollars invested return limited, inapplicable data. 

This is why each application is put through an iterative review to ensure we seed research that will ultimately make an impact on the rare disease community.
