Our Focus Remains on Research and Education
Research Grants
The KDA is committed to funding research grants that advance the understanding of the pathological mechanisms of Kennedy’s Disease. Grants are awarded based on recommendations from the KDA’s Scientific Review Board following a thorough review process. Applications from junior investigators and senior post-doctoral fellows are especially encouraged.

Griffin SMBA Fellowship
The Kennedy's Disease Association (KDA) believes it is important to support young researchers who are enthusiastic about their work. We believe by doing so, we will encourage young researchers to include research in SBMA in their future career research plans. This is the reason the KDA created the "Waite-Griffen SBMA Fellowship" named after KDA founder's Terry Waite and Patrick Griffin who with help from Terry's wife Susanne established the KDA in 2000.

Emergency Grants
From time to time, the KDA provides funding to support ongoing research projects, enabling laboratories to continue their research work while seeking additional funding sources.
