Moon-Rocket Grant
Usher Syndrome Foundation Grant Call:
The Moon-Rocket Grant
The use of the word ‘Ushers’ for people with Usher syndrome is meant with a wink and refers to the meaning of the English word ‘Ushers’. People with Usher syndrome are the messengers of an important story or message.
The ‘Ushers’ tell what they need, what kind of help they need, what they find important and how they experience their life with Usher syndrome.
Currently, there is no treatment available for 400.000 ‘Ushers’ in the world. What is needed for the ‘Ushers’ is more knowledge and research into the Usher Syndrome. That is why Stichting Ushersyndroom [Dutch Usher Syndrome Foundation] awards the Moon-Rocked Grant: € 100,000 for research into Usher Syndrome.
The Moon-Rocket Grant
The goal of the Moon-Rocket Grant of the Usher Syndrome Foundation is to realize our formulated moonshot: “a cure for Usher in 2025!”.
The Moon-Rocket Grant is intended to financially support research into Usher Syndrome (any form or subtype).
All research proposals submitted must fit into one of the four core values the Usher Syndrome Foundation has defined by:
- Treatment
- Understanding
- Diagnostics
- Impact
The Moon-Rocket Grant will award a maximum of €100,000 per research. If there are several eligible projects, more projects can be funded. A maximum of € 200,000 is available for financing.
