Angelman Syndrome Research Grants

Angelman syndrome (AS) is a rare neuro-genetic disorder that occurs in one in 15,000 live births. Angelman syndrome is often misdiagnosed as cerebral palsy or autism due to lack of awareness. Characteristics or symptoms of Angelman syndrome include developmental delay, lack of speech, seizures, and walking and balance disorders. Individuals with Angelman syndrome will require life-long care.

The Angelman Syndrome Foundation conducts biannual calls for research proposals. Applications are accepted on a continual basis, with submission deadlines for subsequent review occurring annually on October 15 and April 15. One- or two-year grants will be awarded for various amounts of up to $100,000 per year.
