This is a big step forward for the PANS/PANDAS community.
For the first time, PANS/PANDAS has been included as an eligible topic area within the Department of Defense Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP), creating a new opportunity for federal research funding.
A huge thank you to the National Alliance for PANS/PANDAS Action (NAPPA), which spearheaded this effort. We were glad to join advocates in speaking with legislators about the importance of advancing research for PANS/PANDAS and related infection-associated neuropsychiatric conditions.
If you know a researcher or clinician who may be interested in applying, please share this opportunity. The PRMRP is hosting informational webinars for prospective applicants this month.
