The A-T Children’s Project offers translational and clinical research grants specifically focused on projects related to ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). Grants are available for a duration of one or two years, with a maximum total direct cost funding of $75,000 per year. It is a strict requirement that 100 percent of the awarded funds be allocated exclusively to direct project costs. Administrative, overhead, or indirect costs are not allowed to be covered by the grant funds, as the organization is committed to donors to ensure direct impact from their contributions.

Grant decisions are made through a two-tiered, peer-review selection process. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and decisions are typically communicated to applicants within 90 days of submission, allowing for a relatively fast turnaround compared to many other grant-making organizations. Before submitting a full proposal, applicants must first submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) as a PDF to grants@atcp.org. If invited, the applicant can then submit a full proposal, also in PDF format.

The A-T Children’s Project emphasizes funding for projects that are likely to lead to translational advances or clinical interventions. Their guidelines specify particular areas of interest and offer candid advice on proposal success, though these details must be accessed separately through their website’s guideline documents. Applicants are also encouraged to contact the organization for assistance in forming collaborations or accessing research reagents relevant to A-T or ATM research.
