The Visiting Scientist Program
This year, The Manton Center for Orphan Disease Research was able to sponsor several events promoting collaborations between researchers, physicians and patients. Applications were available through this webpage for all Children's staff to submit.

After careful review, we allotted the remainder of this year's Visiting Scientist budget to support the events most consistent with The Manton Center's mission. We hope to reinstate this open application process in the future, however it will depend on the availability of funds. We will be announcing when we are accepting applications via email blasts and through announcements on our webpage. Please check this page periodically to see if applications are available.
