APBD Research Foundation Rally for Research Pilot Grant Program

The Adult Polyglucosan Body Disease (APBD) Research Foundation funds scientific and clinical research pilot grants through its annual Rally for Research Pilot Grant Program, supporting one-year preclinical/clinical studies on APBD and other forms of Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV (GSD IV). Applicants are academic/clinical investigators (early-career investigators strongly represented among recipients). FIA: Fact -- the 2025 campaign raised $150,000 and funded three one-year pilot grants (announced Feb-May 2026), implying roughly $50,000 per pilot; submission/review is administered with the UPenn Orphan Disease Center JumpStart program. Assumption -- a per-grant amount and the annual submission deadline are not stated on the captured award-announcement pages, so amount and deadline are left null (no fabrication). FLAG re-scrape of the grant-application/RFP page for amount, eligibility, and deadline.
