Proper Citation: Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation (RRID:SCR_006637)
Description: The Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation is dedicated to finding a treatment to improve cognition including learning, memory and speech for individuals with Down syndrome. Since our founding in 2004 we have become the leading private source of funding in the United States for Down syndrome cognition research. The mission of DSRTF is to stimulate biomedical research that will accelerate the development of treatments to significantly improve cognition, including memory, learning and speech, for individuals with Down syndrome in order that they: * participate more successfully in school; * lead more active and independent lives; * and avoid the early onset of Alzheimer''s Disease. DSRTF is funding research that applies the information, tools and techniques resulting from the genome project along with recent advances in brain research to the study of cognition in Down syndrome. Our goal is the development of treatments that will improve learning, memory, and speech, and therefore enhance the lives of those with Down syndrome and their families. The majority of individuals with Down syndrome fall into the mild to moderate range of cognitive impairment. For many of these individuals, a 10%-20% improvement in cognitive ability would provide them with the ability to live independently, hold a job and be fully integrated within their communities.
