Muscular Dystrophy Canada’s annual Neuromuscular Research Grant Program is now open for 2024-25!
The annual Neuromuscular Research Grant Program invests in projects related to the diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care of neuromuscular disorders. These grants are intended to: fill gaps in the existing funding landscape; enable researchers to build new and innovative research; support proof-of-concept, feasibility and pilot studies in preparation for larger-scale, longer-term grants from external sources. MDC grants also facilitate partnerships between researchers and patients.
Two streams are available: Translational Science Grants and Clinical Research Grants
- Application Open: September 3, 2024

MDC welcome research grants focused on one or multiple neuromuscular disorders (NMD). In this cycle, we especially encourage proposals focusing on Friedreich ataxia, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease / hereditary motor and sensory neuropathies (HMSN), myotonic dystrophy, limb-girdle muscular dystrophy and collagen VI-related dystrophy.
