DREAMS Grant Program

To apply, your organization must:

1. Be a registered non-profit in the U.S., U.K. or EU*
2. Provide services to people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or will work closely with the Duchenne community as part of this grant
3. Submit a grant request focused on advancing equity, inclusion and accessibility within the Duchenne community
4. Not have received a DREAMS Grant within the last two years

* EU countries include Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden. All applicants will be asked to provide documents that confirm your organization’s non-profit status.

As a first step, you will need to complete the Interest Form to ensure your organization meets the above eligibility requirements.

All applicants will receive a response, and all organizations that meet the above eligibility requirements will then receive an email with a link to the full application.

In the full application, you will need to provide detailed information about your project, including:

• Your project's goals and objectives
• How it will advance equity, inclusion and accessibility within the Duchenne muscular dystrophy community for those who are currently underrepresented or underserved
• A clear plan for implementation and outreach
• An attached budget in an Excel format

Please note: to ensure a fair and equitable review process, all applications must be completed through the questions in our online form. The only attachment that will be accepted is an Excel file for your project’s budget; additional attachments (such as PDF proposals) will not be reviewed. 

Your proposed project should reflect the mission of the Entrada DREAMS Grant Program: to fund innovative efforts in support of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy community to better identify, understand and reach those who are currently underrepresented and underserved. Applicants are encouraged to define the specific gaps or barriers they seek to address, including those affecting racial or ethnic minorities, rural communities, individuals in developing nations, or other underserved populations.

We welcome a wide range of creative approaches. For example, projects may include supportive services, outreach and engagement efforts, pilot programs, or capacity-building. In your proposal, you are encouraged to provide enough detail for the Independent Review Committee to understand how you will address the gaps or barriers you have identified and the impact your project may have. While this is a one-year grant, your application should discuss how short-term successes may potentially translate into longer-term impact.

Applications may be submitted in a language other than English. Non-English submissions will be translated into English before being reviewed, utilizing a computer automated translation program.

Only one application per non-profit organization will be considered. Grant recipients will enter into a written agreement with Entrada Therapeutics that reviews the basic conditions of the grant.

Final applications must be submitted by 11:59 pm EDT on July 9, 2026.
