Objectiu de la convocatòria
The Fondation Jérôme Lejeune launches two annual calls to support fundamental, translational, and clinical research projects that advance understanding and explore new therapeutic approaches for Down syndrome and other genetic disorders associated with intellectual disability. The Spring call focuses solely on intellectual disabilities of genetic origin, excluding Trisomy 21, such as Fragile X, Cri du chat, Rett, Williams-Beuren, Prader-Willi, Angelman, and Smith-Magenis syndromes, among others. The Autumn call is exclusively dedicated to research on Trisomy 21.

Característiques principals
The call supports two funding schemes:
Pilot or Exploratory Grants: For early stage research projects built on preliminary data or small projects that complement larger primary projects.
Advanced Grants: For larger breakthrough projects with substantial preliminary data.
Research proposals should cover at least one of the following areas:
Innovative fundamental research addressing the aetiology, pathogenesis and progression of the studied disease(s) condition and will generate new relevant knowledge of the disease(s).
Translational research answering a question of major interest that can have a positive impact on the health of patients.
Clinical research including early phase clinical studies, ancillary studies based on initiated or completed clinical trials, and studies involving patients in the pathophysiological analysis of their disease. These studies should generate novel strategies for diagnosis, therapy and/or rehabilitation.
Epidemiological studies including case-control, cohort, cross-sectional and intervention studies.
Neuropsychology studies and development or application of new techniques.
