TSC Alliance’s program: Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research - Competitive LOIs

Wong Family Foundation Research Award

Suggested areas of emphasis (not limited to): *Basic research in mechanisms relating to intractability *Model development (infantile spasms or intractable epilepsy) *New technologies related to epilepsy (imaging, electrophysiology)

Research grants

High-priority areas: * Understanding phenotypic heterogeneity in TSC from person to person *Gaining a deeper knowledge of TSC signaling pathways and the cellular consequences of TSC deficiency *Improving TSC disease models, whether cell-based, tissue-based, or animal models * Developing clinical biomarkers or patient-reported outcome measures for TSC, particularly those that assess disease burden or stratify an individual’s risk of progression or developing specific manifestations of TSC.

Funding: $150K for 2 years.

For early-career researchers. Fully supports collaborative projects between co-investigators.
