Description:

The National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) has announced funding opportunities for 2011 through its clinical research program. Grants are available through this international program for the study of six rare diseases.

The NORD Research Grant Program provides seed-money grants to academic scientists for clinical research. The hope is that these studies will ultimately lead to new diagnostics, treatments, and/or cures for rare disorders.

• Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma
