Research is at the center of what we do. We have funded research projects to improve our understanding of topics with profound impacts on individuals who live with EDS and HSD, including diagnosis, pain, life-threatening vascular complications, and genetic evaluation. Learn more.
The Ehlers-Danlos Society, in conjunction with The EDS and HSD International Consortium, established a roadmap to develop and convey its research priorities. The research roadmap presents a long-term action plan for the prioritisation of EDS and HSD as focal points for research, worldwide, providing opportunities to enhance the speed and effectiveness of research.

The Ehlers-Danlos Society aspires to offer grants annually, with calls for clinical research proposals early in the year and for basic science later in the year. We also offer grants of varying value to reflect the different nature of researcher requirements, including microgrants. Learn more.
Researchers are welcome to apply to share their surveys with the Ehlers-Danlos Society’s patient and caregiver communities. If you have a survey in need of recruits, submit your request here.
