Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites researchers to submit applications for support of new exploratory and developmental research projects that address critical needs for Down syndrome projects, as articulated in the INCLUDE (INvestigation of Co-occurring conditions across the Lifespan to Understand Down syndromE) project objectives.
