Introduction

The Rett Syndrome Research Trust is a start-up nonprofit organization focused on Rett Syndrome and MECP2 research. The Trust has chosen five projects with which to begin its mission of identifying and supporting high impact science.

In order to respond quickly to emerging information and techniques RSRT operates outside the traditional system of timed Requests for Proposals. We encourage interested researchers to contact us directly about their work in progress. As the Trust gains momentum, scientists will be informed of future funding mechanisms via this website and our email bulletin, the RTT Science Watch.
