The 2018 TS Alliance Research Grants Program

The 2018 TS Alliance Research Grants Program aims to support basic research and scientific studies that accelerate the translation of basic research findings into clinical impact for those affected by TSC.

Research plans should address one of the following four high-priority areas:

• Understanding phenotypic heterogeneity in TSC, i.e., research on genetic, biologic, or environmental factors that might explain why TSC is so different from person to person
• Gaining a deeper knowledge of TSC signaling pathways and the cellular consequences of TSC deficiency
• Improving TSC disease models, whether cell-based, tissue-based, or animal models
• Developing clinical biomarkers or patient-reported outcome measures for TSC, particularly those that assess disease burden or stratify an individual’s risk of progression or developing specific manifestations of TSC
