CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) is
  interested in sponsoring innovative lines of inquiry into human HD patien
 t data that will shed light on the most proximal biological events caused 
 by the mutant huntingtin gene. The Human Biology Project has the goal of f
 ostering innovative research in collaboration with HD clinics to better un
 derstand the biology of Huntington’s disease as it occurs in humans. The
  research to be supported by HDSA should meet these two criteria:\n•  F
 irst\, the proposals must involve the use of HD patients\, patient data an
 d samples or human HD model systems to maximize the impact on the executio
 n of future clinical trials and/or drug discovery programs for HD.\n•  
 Second\, the research proposals should involve a collaboration with invest
 igators/clinicians at a reputable HD clinic anywhere around the world.\n\n
 Funding:       1-2 years\n\nDuration:      $150\,000\n\nEligibili
 ty: While the program is open to researchers from around the world regardl
 ess of position/title\, preference will be given to young postdoctoral and
  clinical investigators (PhD and/or MDs) who are not yet independent. If t
 he applicant is a post-doctoral or clinical research fellow\, a mentor mus
 t be identified. Innovative ideas from non-scientists will also be accepte
 d and encouraged. Recipients must commit at least 50% effort to the projec
 t.\n\nHow to Apply: Letters of Intent (LOIs) and Applications must be subm
 itted through HDSA’s online application portal. The LOI should be a shor
 t Microsoft Word document of 1000 words or less and should include a short
  summary outlining the intended research\, any background and/or prelimina
 ry data\, the specific aims\, a brief experimental plan\, the estimated ti
 me required to complete studies\, and qualifications of the researcher/app
 licant. LOIs will be reviewed by the HDSA Scientific Advisory Board and th
 ose most closely aligning with the statement of need will be invited to su
 bmit a full proposal.\n\nDeadline\, letter of intent:  22-May-2020\nDeadl
 ine\, full application: 24-July-2020 (by invitation)\n\nFurther informatio
 n\n\n	More information about the program is available here\n	The applicati
 on portal can be found here\n	For any other questions\, please contact the
