Angelman Syndrome Foundation Call for Research Proposals
An open annual call funding one- and two-year Angelman syndrome projects at up to $100,000 a year. The published roadmap centres on UBE3A biology, therapeutic development, biomarkers and endpoints, and clinical care and innovation. That fourth cornerstone, covering symptom management, standardized protocols and care delivery, is the realistic entry point for a social work investigator, and the Foundation names seizures, sleep and motor challenges as priority problem areas. Be candid with yourself about fit: the Foundation does not advertise a dedicated behavioural, family or caregiver track.
