Our grant round is now open.
We have two project grant funding opportunities available for researchers;
- Joint funding from Action for A-T and BrAshA-T
Action for A-T and BrAshA-T invite applications for high quality medical research projects that have the potential to treat, cure or enable medical interventions for Ataxia Telangiectasia (A-T). Applications are invited across the fields of this multi-system condition however research must demonstrate to be of actual or future potential benefit to A-T patients.
- Joint funding from Action for A-T and NATA
Action for A-T and NATA invite applications for research projects into the identification of targets or biological pathways that could be amenable to nucleic acid-based interventions. This could include ASOs, siRNAs, mRNA and DNA/RNA base-editing approaches, with the goal of offering new options for the management and/or treatment of Ataxia-Telangiectasia (A-T) patients.
Guidance for Applicants:
For both funding opportunities, applications are invited for short term project grants, up to 3 years in duration, for a maximum award of £250,000 (to cover a research post, consumables, and essential equipment). Please note we will not consider funding grants for further education, e.g. MSc/PhD and course fees and any indirect costs.
Applicants can be residents of any country but must be affiliated to an academic institution.
Researchers who would like to enquire about submitting a grant should email a summary (1-2 pages max) of the research proposed including:
- The aim of the work
