HDSA Research
Funding Programs
HDSA offers three types of competitive research grants and maintains personalized contact with our fellows to support their work and to share their stories with the community. Our scientific advisory board, made up of HD scientists, clinical experts, and family representatives, reviews applications yearly and decides which projects to fund. HDSA is also part of an international coalition to give patients a voice in clinical research.
