Medical Research Projects

At least 60% of the money the Society receives from Jeans for Genes is spent on research projects. The invitation to apply for a research grant (scientific or clinical) in the field of MPS and Related Diseases appears in the Society's magazine and is put on the website. Applications are also sent to NSCAG MPS centres in England. All applications are externally refereed and peer reviewed. Successful peer reviewed applicants are invited to present their research project to the Society's Management Committee and other interested parties.
