The National MPS Society exists to cure, support, and advocate for mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) and mucolipidosis (ML).
Thank you for your support and connection with this community. We are honored to participate in the 17th Annual WORLDSymposium. Please contact us for more information or resources.
Science and Research
Research is at the forefront of our mission, with over $12 million awarded in grants for MPS/ML and $40 million in NIH-funded research. Our research grant program opens February 15, 2021 and will accept applications for one or two-year MPS and ML grants for $50K – $100K each, in bench, investigative, and translational categories.
Family Support and Pathways Programs
Through Family Support scholarships and grant programs, the Society enables members to access family conferences and obtain educational advancement, receive durable medical equipment and reimbursement for medical travel, among other resources. Services for families and individuals continue throughout the lifetime and into bereavement support.
The Pathways program offers face-to-face connection with direct social work support throughout the first year of diagnosis.
