RARECast: The Power of Small Grants to Make Big Impacts

November 27, 2015

People often focus on the large amounts of money it takes to conduct biomedical research or develop potential therapeutics, but sometime small grants can have big impacts on the lives of people with rare diseases. Caroline Harding, CEO of Genetics Disorders UK, discusses her own journey through the rare diseases world following the birth of her son Columbus, and how she saw, through her own work, the important role small grant making could play. We spoke to Harding about her experiences, her organization’s Jeans for Genes program, and how small grants can sometimes be the catalyst to transform the lives of people.
