For Researchers
Connecting academic and industry scientists with the resources and reagents needed to make quick progress is important to us. Below is our curated list of key resources and reagents. If you can’t find what you are looking for please contact Monica Coenraads.
Funding Information
RSRT does not have funding calls. We do however accept unsolicited proposals. Please submit a short (1 to 2 pages) letter of intent to Monica Coenraads outlining your project, timeline and rough budget. There are no deadlines for submission.
It is wonderful that RSRT is providing a guide to reagents and animal models that can be used to advance Rett Syndrome and MECP2 Duplication Syndrome research. By sharing reagents and mice, we avoid duplication of efforts and save research funds for critical experiments.

A cure for Rett.
You want it.
We want it.
Great achievements happen when people stand up and say I’m in. I will be part of the solution!
Rett may be a rare disorder but together we are powerful.
