Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Health, Specifically Named Diseases Research
Mission: The organization's mission is to provide research grants to fund aggressive research into treatments for duchenne muscular dystrophy and to support the effort to treat, and ultimately cure, this disease.
Programs: The organization awarded research grants in the amount of $627,710 during 2014. These grants were awarded to fund the development of potential therapies for duchenne muscular dystrophy utilizing strategies designed to repair the genetic flaw of this catastrophic, single-gene-defect disorder; support academic research institutions in efforts to bring therapies to the marketplace that would compensate for the lack of a protein essential in muscle regeneration and repair; and fund scientific workshops for leading muscle researchers and clinicians to effectively collaborate on strategies for translation approaches to muscular dystrophy.
