FUNDING GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH
The Hereditary Disease Foundation provides Postdoctoral Fellowships and Grants to researchers to advance the discovery and development of treatments for Huntington’s disease and other brain disorders. We are passionate about finding and funding the most promising, creative and paradigm-changing research.
Our Scientific Advisory Board is composed of over 30 distinguished scientists from around the world who set the scientific priorities for the Foundation. Each year the Board reviews more than 100 grant and postdoctoral fellowship applications and selects the most groundbreaking research projects for funding.

HDF Postdoctoral Fellowships fund the work of young, promising scientists. These fellowships are intended to cultivate interest in Huntington’s disease research by encouraging scientists early in their careers. The Hereditary Disease Foundation awards two-year fellowships of up to $75,000 per year.
HDF Grants provide more experienced researchers with the seed funding to enable them to collect preliminary data. This data generated has allowed many researchers to receive major long-term funding from other sources, including the National Institutes of Health. The Hereditary Disease Foundation awards one-year grants of $75,000.
Our Research Program is supported by a partnership between loyal and generous donors and HDF-funded scientists. The research we fund together can be transformative.
We welcome new partners to join us in pursuing game-changing scientific research that will make a powerful difference in the lives of families around the world impacted by HD and other neurodegenerative disorders. Our Partners in Research make a significant annual contribution to the Foundation’s Research Program and often encourage friends and family to do the same.

We like the philosophy of the Hereditary Disease Foundation that monies raised go directly to support research and that scientists from around the world are encouraged to collaborate and share their work.
