About Metakids

Metakids is a Netherlands-based disease-focused funder dedicated to making inherited metabolic diseases treatable or preventable, with a strong emphasis on accelerating research that can translate into real patient impact within about a decade. It primarily supports Dutch academic and translational research communities, including early-career scientists, consortia, and projects that move from fundamental discovery toward diagnostics, therapy development, and improved care. The organization is especially distinctive for its tightly focused mission and its mix of talent awards, open research calls, and catalytic funding for collaborative translational work.
