Your Funds At Work! Spring 2020 Research Grants Webinar

In this video, the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research announces our first round of Research Awards in 2020 totaling $912,251. FPWR is dedicated to supporting research that advances the understanding and treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) and to that end, has awarded over $14,000,000 to research since 2003. In this webinar, Dr. Theresa Strong reviews each of the 9 funded grants, sharing why we're excited about them and what their potential long-term contribution could be.
