Peripheral neuropathies (often painful damage or disruption of the peripheral nerve function) affect millions of Americans, but sadly, most have no effective treatments. The Johns Hopkins Merkin Peripheral Neuropathy and Nerve Regeneration Center hopes to change that. Our goal is to advance peripheral neuropathy research, deepen our understanding of these conditions and their causes and develop viable therapies.
If you are a researcher (junior faculty or senior post-doctoral fellow) committed to enhancing the science behind peripheral neuropathy and nerve regeneration, we encourage you to submit a grant application. We accept applications from researchers at Johns Hopkins and other institutions in the United States. Award notifications for seed grants will be sent out by 10/28/22.

It is people — brilliant scientists — who make notable medical discoveries. Our center will use the Johns Hopkins expertise and resources, combined with the generous gift from the Merkin Family Foundation, to bring together these individuals and teams in a collaborative setting. To achieve this, we will:
By providing seed funding, support and expertise to investigators worldwide, we can help advance many innovative projects.
By organizing forums and events, we hope to promote open exchange of tools and ideas between researchers, which sparks innovation.
Through mentorship and a collaborative environment, we aim to encourage out-of-the-box approaches and create a research community with a diverse body of knowledge.
By supporting the full pathway from investigating the causes, to drug discovery, animal models and clinical trials, we aim to translate basic research into patient-ready therapies.
Comprised of external experts in related disciplines, the board will set annual goals, review data and provide perspectives and guidance on research productivity and timeliness.
Through the use of computer algorithms, investigators will be able to better characterize disease, identify subtypes, determine patterns and build shared resources, such as a patient registry for genotyping and biomarker studies.
