CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The aim of this call is to further develop and validate
  established biomarkers for which there is a clear clinical need in Alzhei
 mer's disease and related dementias. This call prioritizes biomarkers with
  a defined context of use\, a clear advantage over other relevant biomarke
 rs\, and a path to commercialization and/or clinical use.\n\nSpecifically\
 , this call focuses on:\n\n	developing novel PET ligands for clinical use\
 n	supporting novel CSF biomarkers\n	Validating innovative MRI approaches i
 n larger cohorts\n	Developing novel measures of functional activity such a
 s EEG\n\n\nNovel biomarkers of neuroinflammation\, synaptic integrity\, au
 tophagy and TDP-43 are high priority. Other target areas of interest inclu
 de:\n\n\n	Neuronal loss\n	Vascular injury and blood-brain barrier integrit
 y\n	Mitochondria and metabolic function\n	Protein misfolding\n	Oxidative s
 tress\n	White matter changes\n	Lewy body dementia\n	Other novel targets su
 pported by compelling biological rationale and connection to disease\n\n\n
 Funding:       max. $600\,000\n\nDuration:      1 year\n\nEligibi
 lity: Funding is open to researchers and clinicians worldwide at academic 
 medical centers and universities or nonprofits. Industry partnerships are 
 encouraged.\n\nHow to Apply: Deadlines for proposal submissions occur thre
 e times per year. Applications are reviewed in a two-step process: Letters
  of Intent (LOIs) are the first step\, and should be submitted on the ADDF
  Funding Portal. ADDF’s science team will evaluate LOIs to determine whe
 ther the proposed project is consistent with the ADDF's mission and fundin
 g priorities. LOI decisions will be sent within three weeks of submission.
  Step 2 is an invited full proposal\, which should include a detailed proj
 ect narrative\, budget and justification\, and biographical information. 
  When formulating the budget\, note that the following costs are not cover
 ed: Indirect costs/Overhead\, Publication costs\, Equipment\, and Travel.\
