TS Alliance Research Grants

Research grant awards are intended to provide funding for an independent researcher, whether tenure-track faculty, non-tenure track faculty/staff, or an equivalent level at a research institution or company. The award may support laboratory supplies, personnel costs, services, or equipment necessary to conduct the proposed research. The TS Alliance fully supports collaborative projects between co-investigators, but only one investigator may be considered the Principal Investigator for the purpose of applying through the online submission system.

Research plans should address one of the following four high-priority areas:
--Understanding phenotypic heterogeneity in TSC, i.e., research on genetic, biologic, or environmental factors that might explain why TSC is so different 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
