Making an Impact on NTSAD’s Mission

The annual Day of Hope supports NTSAD’s Research Initiative and family resources. Since its inception in 2002, NTSAD’s Research Initiative has awarded more than 76 grants and provided more than $5.1 million in funding. The data generated in some of these projects funded by NTSAD grant opportunities were leveraged to obtain future funding from larger National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants, resulting in over $30 million toward finding cures.
