For Grantees
Research is at the heart of advances in treatment and care for Duchenne muscular dystrophy and funding Duchenne research is a core objective for Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD). PPMD’s research programs, which run the gamut from small bridge grants to seven figure awards for drug development, are all designed to fund projects directly aimed at the development of new therapies for Duchenne.
Applications to PPMD are reviewed by either:
New Resource!
Rapid and open sharing of new research data, analyses, and ideas. PLoS Currents: Muscular Dystrophy enables research results and ideas to be shared immediately while ensuring that they will be permanently archived and citable. PLoS Currents provides open access to all content, ensuring that authors reach the widest possible audience. All content is reviewed by a group of expert researchers. PPMD is proud to provide support to launch and maintain PLoS Currents: Muscular Dystrophy.
