\"POTSResearchFund\"<\/a>
\nIn 2019, Dysautonomia International’s POTS Research Fund received applications from researchers in nine countries seeking over $6.1M in research grants. Thanks to our amazing fundraising volunteers and donors, we\u00a0are able to fund over $800,000 in POTS research grants this year! You can help support these grants and future research by making a contribution at CurePOTS.org<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

It’s very difficult choosing the studies to fund, as we received so many great applications and we want to fund everything that will help advance our understanding of POTS and find better treatments for patients. We use a rigorous two-step peer-reviewed scoring system to help identify the most promising applications. All\u00a0applications are reviewed by\u00a0four independent scientists, two patients or caregivers, and our Board of Directors, prior to funding.<\/p>\n

Our 2019 grant recipients are…<\/p>\n

Dr. Artur Fedorowski, Lund University (Sweden)<\/strong>
\nHead-to-head comparison of cell-based functional assay vs. epitope-based ELISA method for detection of GPCR-autoantibodies in postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome<\/p>\n

Dr. Raffaello Furlan, Humanitas University (Italy)<\/strong>
\nLong-term effects of transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation on symptoms and cardiovascular autonomic profile of patients with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS)<\/p>\n

Dr. Katja Kovacic, The Medical College of Wisconsin (United States)<\/strong>
\nOptimizing Vagal Efficiency to Improve Gastrointestinal Function in POTS: Effects of Auricular Neurostimulation<\/p>\n

Dr. Laura Pace, University of Utah (United States)<\/strong>
\nAltered Nitric Oxide Metabolism in POTS<\/p>\n

Dr. Satish Raj, University of Calgary (Canada)<\/strong>
\nCardiac Structure and Function in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome: A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Study<\/p>\n

Dr. Robert Sheldon, University of Calgary (Canada)<\/strong>
\nA Randomized Cross-Over Study of Propranolol Versus Ivabradine\u00a0in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome<\/p>\n

We also funded a study earlier in 2019…<\/p>\n

Prof. Lauren Stiles, Stony Brook University (United States)<\/strong>
\n Dr. Jonas Axelsson, Karolinska Institutet (Sweden)<\/strong>
\n Dr. Artur Fedorwoski, Lund University (Sweden)<\/strong>
\nImmune-Phenotyping in Individuals with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (read more about it<\/a><\/span><\/strong>)<\/p>\n

We’ll be sharing more information on each of these studies in the coming weeks and we’ll share info on how you can volunteer as a study participant for some of the studies. In the meanwhile, please contribute to the POTS Research Fund if you can and ask your friends and family to do the same at CurePOTS.org<\/a><\/span><\/strong>. By pooling our donations together, small and large, we can advance the pace of research and get us closer to finding better treatments for millions of people around the world living with POTS.<\/p>\n
