[ Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation – Prevention beyond the pipeline | Research Funding ]
Event details
| Date | 10.07.2020 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The ADDF seeks to support comparative effectiveness research, prevention clinical trials, and epidemiological studies that probe whether the use or choice of drugs alters the risk for dementia or cognitive decline.
Specifically, the Prevention Beyond the Pipeline RFP supports:
Current target areas of interest include:
Funding: max. $100,000 (epidemiological analyses)
max. $3M (clinical trials)
Duration: Multi-year
Eligibility: Funding is open to researchers and clinicians worldwide at academic medical centers and universities or nonprofits.
How to Apply: Deadlines for proposal submissions occur quarterly. Applications are reviewed in a two-step process: Letters of Intent (LOI) are the first step. 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 budget, note that the following costs are not covered: Indirect costs/Overhead, Publication costs, Equipment, and Travel.
Summer Deadlines: 10-July-20 (letter of intent)
07-Aug-20 (full proposal, by invitation)
Autumn Deadlines: 09-Oct-20 (letter of intent)
06-Nov-20 (full proposal, by invitation)
