CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim:  The aim of this request for proposals (RFP) is to devel
 op biomarkers for which there is a clear clinical need in Alzheimer's dise
 ase and related dementias.\n\nSpecifically\, this RFP focuses on:\n\n	deve
 loping novel PET ligands for clinical use\n	supporting novel CSF biomarker
 s\n	validating established MRI approaches in larger cohorts\n\n\nNovel bio
 markers of neuroinflammation and synaptic integrity are considered high pr
 iority. Other target areas of interest include:\n\n\n	Neuronal loss\n	Vasc
 ular injury and blood-brain barrier integrity\n	Mitochondria and metabolic
  function\n	Protein misfolding/proteostasis\n	Oxidative stress\n	White mat
 ter changes\n	Other novel targets supported by compelling biological ratio
 nale and connection to disease\n\n\nFunding:        max. $600\,000\n
 \nDuration:      1 year\n\nEligibility: Funding is open to researchers
  and clinicians worldwide at academic medical centers and universities or 
 nonprofits. Industry partnerships are encouraged.\n\nHow to Apply: Deadlin
 es for proposal submissions occur quarterly. Applications are reviewed in 
 a two-step process: Letters of Intent (LOI) are the first step. ADDF’s s
 cience team will evaluate LOIs to determine whether the proposed project i
 s 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 budge
 t\, note that the following costs are not covered: Indirect costs/Overhead
 \, Publication costs\, Equipment\, and Travel.\n\nSummer Deadlines:   
          10-July-20 (letter of intent)\n
