Característiques principals
These grants are strictly for clinical research with Fragile X subjects. Emphasis will be placed on clinical trials of potentially disease-modifying agents which have been previously validated in Fragile X animal models. Other types of clinical research may also be considered, such as biomarker studies in Fragile X patients, or trials of symptomatic therapies. Budgets and grant structure are flexible but may be subject to some negotiation. No limit to structure of grant (can fund PI, postdoc, grad student, technician, supplies, etc.) or time-frame (though all grants over one year still need yearly renewal). |
