LGMD Grant Award Program | Sarepta Therapeutics A grant to support patient advocacy organizations working to drive early genetic testing and awareness The path to a diagnosis of limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is often long and can involve multiple years of frustrating experiences.
Many people living with LGMD are assigned a diagnosis of LGMD based on their symptoms, have not been offered genetic testing, or have a need for updated genetic testing. Sarepta is introducing this LGMD Grant Award Program, an effort aimed to shorten the LGMD diagnostic journey and/or enhance participation in existing genetic testing programs.
The goal of our efforts is to ultimately offer long-term impact for families, such as earlier access to specialized care, increased clinical trial participation, and improving access to potential future treatments for the LGMD community. The LGMD Grant Award Program is global in nature, and Patient Advocacy Organizations or non-governmental organizations from any country are welcome to apply.
Sarepta will grant monetary awards so that patient advocacy organizations or non-governmental organizations may implement their proposals. If you are a member of the LGMD community and have a great idea, please partner with a patient advocacy organization to submit an application!
Up to $100,000 United States Dollars (USD) will be awarded, and the number of awardees will be determined by the selection committee to optimize the available funds. Applications may be submitted between March 19, 2024 and July 19, 2024. The application window will close at 11:59 p.
