DESCRIPTION:The Waterloo Foundation (TWF) was established in Cardiff (UK) 
 in 2007. It supports projects worldwide that help reduce the disparity of 
 opportunities and wealth and the unsustainable use of the world’s natura

 nt.\n \nApplications are currently open for the Child Development Fund fo

 ion of possible co-occurrence with Rolandic Epilepsy is particularly desir
 able\, as well as studies that consider co-occurrence with other neurodeve
 lopmental disorders\; or\n	Studies that explore effective interventions (t
 hose that also include links to our other research interests would be part
 icularly sought after for example sleep\, diet\, exercise/movement).\n\n2.
  Diet and/or Microbiome\n\n\n	studies that consider the effect of diet an
 d/or the microbiome on neurodevelopmental disorders. Those that consider t
