award that was established to celebrate the Foundation's 30th

The Hereditary Disease Foundation offers support for research projects that
will contribute to identifying and understanding the basic defect of
Huntington's disease. Areas of interest include trinucleotide expansions,
animal models, gene therapy, neurobiology and development of the basal
ganglia, cell survival and death, and intercellular signaling in striatal
neurons.
Anyone accepting funding from the Hereditary Disease Foundation must agree

monoclonal antibodies and recombinant DNAs) should be freely available to
other investigators following publication. The Foundation's position is
that there be no restrictions or proprietary rights in materials produced
with our support.
