Conference Grant
Muscular Dystrophy Association
MDA supports meetings and conferences focused on the muscular dystrophies and related diseases of the neuromuscular system. These are the muscular dystrophies (including Duchenne and Becker); motor neuron diseases (including ALS and SMA); the peripheral nerve disorders (CMT and Friedreich's ataxia); inflammatory myopathies; disorders of the neuromuscular junction; metabolic diseases of muscle as well as other myopathies. Conference grants are awarded to encourage scientific meetings for researchers and/or clinicians to exchange ideas and to establish collaborations. Meetings focused on therapy development will be considered a priority.
Conference grants are awarded in USD to applicants who are organizing meetings and not to individuals wishing to travel to conferences.
Applications for 2025 will be accepted and reviewed on a continual rolling basis by invitation only. Contact grants@mdausa.org for more information on how to apply.
