Funding Opportunities

Opportunity Type: Pilot Grants and Other Requests for Applications

Goal: The FCDGC provides funds for projects that will exclusively focus on CDG-related science and it is meant to produce preliminary data supporting areas of research that are either new in the CDG field or new to an established investigative team. We will especially focus on projects that have the potential for high impact on CDG patient care. The scope of projects supported by this P&F award mechanism will include any step of the CDG care continuum, ranging from novel concepts in clinical management, developing novel diagnostics, as well as exploring pathomechanisms and new therapeutics (human studies) in CDG. FCDGC will value proposals that are in the high risk, high impact category. The consortium also aims to form new multidisciplinary collaborations that will enhance the integration of the techniques offered at the participating institutions that will benefit multiple investigators.

Sponsor: Frontiers in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (FCDGC) | CDG Care

Eligibility Criteria: All basic, translational, or clinical investigators located at institutions within the United States who are eligible to apply as a Principal Investigator for NIH grants. Applications from investigators and/or institutions outside of the USA will be accepted and reviewed for funding by CDG CARE. Early-stage investigators and investigators who are new to the field of CDG are especially encouraged to apply. Investigators who have extensive research programs in CDGs are generally ineligible for funding (i.e. R01-style grants focused on CDG).
