About

The Friedreich's Ataxia Research Alliance (FARA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to funding and facilitating research to slow, stop, reverse, and cure Friedreich's ataxia (FA), a rare genetic disease. FARA works in collaboration with researchers, healthcare professionals, and the FA community to build relationships, expand knowledge, and develop new life-changing treatments. The organization funds a competitive, peer-reviewed grant program and has invested over $104 million in FA research to date, supporting investigators across 18 countries.

Funding Opportunities

Graduate Research Fellowship

The Graduate Research Fellowship provides 1 to 3 years of support for individuals engaged in graduate study leading to a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) degree (or equivalent) in Friedreich's ataxia research. FARA will award up to 3 Graduate Research Fellowships per year. For this application type, the PI/applicant of the grant proposal is the graduate student. Applicants need to be matriculated in the chosen graduate school and have a chosen thesis adviser at the time of application. The research proposal must focus on projects that fall within FARA's Research Priorities. The only allowable budget items are the graduate student's salary/stipend plus applicable fringe benefits (including health insurance) and tuition costs and fees that are not already covered by the institution. The majority of the student's time should be dedicated to this project.
