The Myotubular Trust is launching its 7th call for projects. This call is open to international and innovative projects.
The Myotubular Trust is looking to fund further projects that will help find a cure and/ or a treatment for any of the three types of myotubular myopathy (congenital X-linked recessive; congenital autosomal recessive; autosomal dominant). The project proposals should focus on research that would not generally be funded by public or industrial funding sources. This call will be open to research bodies internationally.
A Seventh Call For Projects
The Myotubular Trust has a Scientific Board which is chaired by Professor Francesco Muntoni of The Institute of Child Health, University College London. The Board makes recommendations to the Myotubular Trust trustees on which projects to fund. Applications for this 7th call for projects must be sent by 17:00 hours GMT Wednesday 30th November 2016. Awards should be made in May / June 2017.
Applications may be made for:
- Project grants. Applications from the Principal Investigator for projects of 2-3 years duration to be carried out by a Post Doctoral researcher, or PHD student, will be considered
- A Myotubular Trust fellowship, non-clinical. Applicants will have identified a host institution and will be undertaking a basic science project of 3-4 years duration
In particular, the application of new technologies to research into myotubular myopathy, which may involve collaboration between different medical disciplines and / or different research institutions, are encouraged. Applications which involve joint funding with other organisations will be considered.
