The National Ataxia Foundation (NAF) is committed to funding the best science relevant to hereditary and sporadic types of ataxia in both basic and translational research. Funding for Ataxia-Telangiectasia research proposals will receive a lower priority unless they lend themselves to an overall better understanding of the ataxia disease process.
A Letter of Intent is REQUIRED prior to submitting any research grant applications by the deadlines listed below. Grant Applications submitted that are not preceded by a Letter of Intent, will NOT be reviewed.
