Event details
| Date | 04.11.2019 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Since 1985, the Alzheimer's Disease Research (ADR) program has awarded nearly $120 million to support promising research in fields ranging from molecular biology to genetics to epidemiology. BrightFocus provides research funds for U.S. and international researchers pursuing pioneering research leading to greater understanding, prevention, and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
The goal of the program is to accelerate our understanding of the biological mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias as well as innovative approaches to better diagnose, prevent or delay the progress of the disease. Preference is made for exciting pilot projects that would not, at their present stage, be competitive for large government or industry awards.
Duration: 3 years
Funding: USD $300’000
Eligibility: The Principal Investigator (PI) position is open to tenure- and non-tenure track investigators of any career stage who are appropriately trained to lead an independent research study, and are permitted by their organizations to manage grants and supervise key personnel.
How to Apply: Applications must be submitted through the online portal. Instructions for use of the portal can be found here. More detailed instructions for the application can be downloaded once you’ve registered on the portal. When your proposal is complete, contact the Research Office for the institutional signature on the Signature Page.
Application Deadline: 04 November 2019 (5:00 pm EST)
