The FSH Society, Inc. (the “Society”) sponsors research programs to meet needs of critical importance in the research of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy ("FSHD"). Each year, the Society will accept requests for research funding. All proposals are subject to peer review to identify the most meritorious and innovative to be funded. The following programs are available to support research efforts: A. Research Fellowships -- provide support for graduate student researchers at any stage of their research career. B. Targeted Project Research Grants -- provide one-time support for research projects proposed by investigators at any stage of their independent research career. C. Research Opportunity Grants -- provide rapid, one-time funding of novel ideas for finding a solution to urgent problems with immediate human benefit.
APPLICATION DEADLINE There are no deadlines for the filing of fellowship and grant applications. Meritorious proposals are funded as resources and time permit at the sole and absolute discretion of the Society. An applicant whose fellowship or grant application was rejected is encouraged to discuss with the Society the feasibility of a revised application. Revised applications will be reviewed in the same detail and compete on an equal basis with new applications.
