Our Call for Research Projects
CALL NOW CLOSED
Our 11th Call (2022) for SMA research proposals has now closed
SMA Europe launches Calls for SMA Research Proposals every other year. We typically invite biomedical research proposals aimed at finding therapies for SMA or at elucidating the basic pathophysiological processes of the disease.
We hope to launch Call 12 in 2024.

Scientific Advisory Board
We are supported by a Scientific Advisory Board (SAB), composed of neuroscientists and neurologists with particular expertise in spinal muscular atrophy research, our Research Programme Manager and AFM’s Manager of International Scientific Affairs. The SAB identifies current and future priorities and through reviewing our grant applications, ensure that only the best science is funded.
