Our Research Statement

Many of the world’s most renowned PWS researchers and clinicians are members of PWSA | USA’s scientific and clinical advisory boards. Together they dedicate thousands of hours yearly to enhance research, write educational materials, and provide consultation; nearly all the major breakthroughs in understanding and treating PWS have come from these pioneers and heroes.  PWSA | USA has been supporting research since 1983 and remains committed to supporting future advancements and breakthroughs.
