The LuMind Foundation (formerly Down Syndrome Research and Treatment Foundation – DSRTF) was a 501(c)3 founded by two families in 2004 soon after the decoding of the human genome, which opened the door to biomedical research in the field of cognition research for individuals living with Down syndrome. The mission of the organization was to stimulate biomedical research to develop treatments to improve cognition, including memory, learning and speech. DSRTF soon became the largest non-governmental source of funding in the United States for biomedical research for individuals with DS, granting to top universities including Stanford University, Hopkins University, and the University of California San Diego, among others. DSRTF was renamed to LuMind Foundation in [2015].
