This year we are pleased to announce that we have $30,000 USD in funding available for research grants.

The SATB2 Gene Foundation’s research priorities is to drive research momentum with proposals that would create pilot data sufficient to support larger-scale grant submissions to other funding sources.

The SGF prioritizes the following areas in SAS research based on high-impact needs identified by a recent independent scientific analysis and caregiver input:

  • Speech and Language
  • Behavior
  • Sleep
  • Global Developmental Delays

Additional research priorities include projects on SATB2 function and expression, variations in clinical phenotypes, and symptomatic and/or curative therapeutic interventions.  We support projects that gather foundational knowledge about SATB2 function, and we also support projects that aim for tangible and immediate clinical applicability.
