As part of our goal to support people living with Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, FOP Australia is proud to launch the second round of our Support Grant Program to enable people with FOP (or their direct caregivers) to apply for direct financial support for items or activities that help them live with FOP.
The third round of grants will open on the 1st September will close on the 30th of September 2020.
Details of how to apply will be sent to people with FOP and their caregivers that are registered with FOP Australia (so check at info@fopaustralia.org to make sure we have correct contact details!).
Please read the full Terms Of Reference before applying.
We are grateful to our independent panel of experts who will assess and rank the applications:
- Dr Felicity Collins, Geneticist, Sydney Children’ Health Network
- Mrs Georgie Hyder, Occupational Therapist, Central and Northern Adelaide Health Service
- Ms Michelle Davis, Executive Director, International FOP Association
The returning officer for this round of grants will be Jada Carr. We are very grateful to Jada Carr, who has volunteered her time to assist in this process which will remove the issue of the returning officer and their immediate family being unable to apply for a grant. All applications will be confidential and only accessed by Jada.
If you have any questions about the program please do not hesitate to email us at info@fopaustralia.org
