Research Grants

The RLS Foundation will beging reviewing proposals for projects that promote research to understand RLS. For this new round of funding, the primary research priorities are:

  • Neurobiological interaction: Elucidate the points of interaction between RLS-relevant neurotransmitters, neuronal pathways, and iron deficiency.
  • Pharmacologic treatments: Elucidate effects of novel pharmacological approaches on RLS.
  • Clinical Practice: research based on innovations in patient care delivery including but not limited to population health programs, technology-enabled healthcare delivery (i.e.; telemedicine) and public health initiatives.
  • Other topics: Other research areas accepted for funding consideration.
