MDA Venture Philanthropy

MDA Venture Philanthropy (MVP) is the Muscular Dystrophy Association's drug development program, which operates within MDA's Translational Research program. MVP is exclusively focused on funding the discovery and clinical application of treatments and cures for neuromuscular diseases.

MVP does not provide traditional grants, but rather makes targeted investments in drug development for neuromuscular disease. Projects will be milestone-driven, contract-mediated and a return on investment will be negotiated. MVP utilizes a professional diligence process and is committed to a 16-week turnaround on investment decisions.

More information about MVP, including our business plan and how to apply can be found at our website: www.mdavp.org.
