Submitting A Letter Of Intent
We ask that prior to submitting a grant application all applicants submit a brief Letter Of Intent (LOI)—no longer than 2 pages—to contact@shinesyndrome.org.
The LOI must clearly and concisely outline the specific aims of the project with a timeline and rough budget. Proposals will be reviewed quickly by the DLG4 Research Fund’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), Board of Directors (BOD), and Ad-Hoc Reviewers. Invitations to submit a full proposal will be extended. There are no deadlines for submission.

The mission of DLG4 Research Fund is to support research that will ultimately find treatments for DLG4 patients. The DLG4 Research Fund accepts proposals for research grants by interested scientific and medical researchers on a rolling basis. For more information, please email contact@shinesyndrome.org.
