The Ehlers-Danlos Society is dedicated to advancing and accelerating research and education in Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders (HSD). To date, with the support of its committed donors, The Ehlers-Danlos Society has funded over US $10 million in research.

We support the development of effective and equitable EDS and HSD therapies and work collaboratively to improve the lives of individuals affected by EDS and HSD.

Research Priorities

In collaboration with The International Consortium on EDS and HSD, The Ehlers-Danlos Society has established a roadmap to develop and convey its research priorities. Our aim is to inform researchers and funders of areas of interest that they may wish to explore or support. Learn more.

Research Grant Program

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 will also offer grants of varying value to reflect the different nature of researcher requirements, including microgrants.

As a researcher, please look out for announcements of grant-funding rounds on our website, here.
