Request for Proposals
LETTER OF INTENT (LOI) - Prior to submitting a grant application, all applicants are asked to submit a short LOI (no longer than 2 pages) to lisa@cacna1a.org. The LOI should clearly and concisely outline the specific aims of the project with a timeline and rough budget. LOIs will be reviewed quickly by the CACNA1A Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), Board of Directors (BOD), and/or Ad-Hoc Reviewers. Invitations to submit a full proposal will be extended after review of the LOI. Deadlines for submission of full proposals are currently on a rolling basis.

Supporting research is at our core
The mission of the CACNA1A Foundation, Inc. is to support research that will ultimately find treatments and a cure for CACNA1A. The CACNA1A Foundation accepts proposals for research grants by interested scientific and medical researchers on a rolling basis. For more information, please email lisa@cacna1a.org.
Of primary concern to the CACNA1A Foundation Board of Directors and its Medical and Scientific Advisory Board is the ability to achieve a better understanding of CACNA1A and treatments for the disease in order to improve the quality of life for those with CACNA1A variants.
We have a board-directed policy that we do not cover indirect costs.
