FPWR Grant Program

About this program

The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research (FPWR) offers grants to advance the understanding and treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), prioritizing innovative, early-stage, high-risk/high-reward projects that lead to new interventions. Eligible applicants include academic, government, non-profit, and for-profit research entities, with academic applicants required to hold a primary faculty appointment at the Instructor level or higher. This opportunity is ideal for junior faculty, established investigators new to PWS research, or those seeking pilot study funding in novel PWS research areas. Applications are reviewed by scientific and advocate reviewers, with funding decisions based on scientific merit, relevance to PWS, and alignment with FPWR's goals.
