Applying for a Grant
The Canadian Chapter of the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation (CCNNPDF) is a sister chapter to the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation (NNPDF) (U.S.) and receives administrative support from the NNPDF.
Money raised through the CCNNPDF is invested in Niemann-Pick Disease research through the NNPDF's research program with guidance from the NNPDF's Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), Board of Directors, and Research Committee. This partnership helps eliminate redundancy and maximizes the impact of research dollars. (Tammy Vaughan, chair of the CCNNPDF, serves as secretary of the NNPDF, and is on the NNPDF's Research Committee.)
In 2013 the National Niemann-Pick Disease Foundation Board has reviewed its research funding strategy and has produced a new strategic plan for research.
As a result, we are pleased to announce that the NNPDF will fund, with assistance from the CCNNPDF, Post Doctoral Research Fellowships .
