TREAT-NMD related projects

The European Commission made rare diseases one of its priorities for funding in 2012, with a major financial commitment to rare disease topics contributing towards the new International Rare Disease Research Consortium (IRDiRC) goals. Several groups with a neuromuscular interest took up the challenge of submitting applications to the FP7-HEALTH-2012-INNOVATION-1 call. We are delighted to report that a number of proposals involving TREAT-NMD participants have been successful and the following projects have now started.
