Recent scientific advances have provided an increased understanding of pathogenic mechanisms underlying FTD and are driving the development of potential disease-modifying therapies. The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) seek to accelerate this progress by supporting <strong>innovative small molecule and biologic</strong> (antibodies, oligonucleotides, peptides, gene therapy etc.) <strong>drug development programs for FTD</strong> through this request for proposals (RFP).<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe funding priorities for this RFP are:\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Lead optimization</strong> of novel disease-modifying compounds, including medicinal chemistry refinement and in vitro ADME.</li>\r\n\t<li><strong><em>In vivo</em></strong><strong> testing of novel lead compounds, biologics, vaccines, or repurposed drug candidates</strong> in relevant animal models for pharmacokinetics, dose-range finding, target engagement, in vivo efficacy, and/or preliminary rodent tolerability studies.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Funding</strong>: up to $300,000 based on stage and scope of research<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Duration</strong>: 1 year, with potential for follow-up funding<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>Eligibility:</strong> Funding is open to researchers and clinicians worldwide at academic medical centers and universities or nonprofits. Industry partnerships are encouraged.<br>\r\n<br>\r\n<strong>How to Apply</strong>: Applications are reviewed in a two-step process: Letters of Intent (LOI) are the first step, and are submitted through the <a href=\"https://addf.fluxx.io/user_sessions/new\">ADDF Funding Portal</a>. ADDF’s science team will evaluate LOIs to determine whether the proposed project is consistent with the ADDF's mission and funding priorities. LOI decisions will be sent within three weeks of submission. Step 2 is an invited full proposal, which should include a detailed project narrative, budget and justification, and biographical information. When formulating the <a href=\"https://www.alzdiscovery.org/research-and-grants/funding-opportunities/policies\">budget</a>, note that the following costs are not covered: Indirect costs/Overhead, Publication costs, Equipment, and Travel.

Dyson Professor of Pediatric Oncology at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a Professor of Cell Biology at Harvard Medical School, an Investigator of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the Associate Director for Basic Science at the Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center. He received his undergraduate and medical degrees from the University of Chicago. During medical school, he did research at the Rockefeller University. His postdoctoral fellowship was at the Whitehead Institute/Massachusetts Institute of Technology.<br>\r\n<br>\r\nThe Pellman Lab works on the mechanism of cell division and how certain cell division errors drive rapid genome evolution. His research has contributed to the understanding of cell division, the origin of cell division errors in cancer, how cell division errors drive genetic instability and the mechanisms driving rapid evolution of cancer genomes. Our contributions include (1) the co-discovery of formin-dependent actin nucleation and a mechanism for spindle positioning during asymmetric cell division, (2) discoveries establishing that whole genome duplication can drive tumorigenesis, alter cell physiology, and accelerate evolutionary adaptation, and (3) the discovery of a mechanism explaining chromothripsis, a mutational process that generates rapid karyotype evolution in cancer and congenital disease.</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e552a16 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\">\r\n<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\"> </div>\r\n</div>", "image_description": "", "creation_date": "2026-01-06T16:10:28", "last_modification_date": "2026-01-28T14:34:52", "link_label": "", "link_url": "", "canceled": "False", "cancel_reason": "", "place_and_room": "SV 1717", "url_place_and_room": "https://plan.epfl.ch/?room==SV%201717", "url_online_room": "https://epfl.zoom.us/j/97039045251?pwd=WDFjUGV3Y1FxeG9rTUIrOGpiUXhLQT09", "spoken_languages": [ "https://memento.epfl.ch/api/v1/spoken_languages/2/?format=api" ], "speaker": "David Pellman, M.D., Margaret M.
