In 2018, the Dutch Huntington Association also intends to award the Huntington Stimulation Grant and warmly invites you to submit a research proposal. For this round a “translational, multidisciplinary project, scientifically founded, that leads to or bridges to a clinical and / or care project to improve the quality of life of people with Huntington’s disease”.
