DESCRIPTION:Aim:\nThe Outcome Measures Parkinson's Pathway Molecular Data 
 Analysis Program aims to identify and characterize novel biomarkers and cr
 itical pathways from existing molecular data sets. This funding opportunit
 y is intended for applications using existing and novel computational\, in
 formatic\, and data science strategies to interrogate molecular data sets 
 relevant to Parkinson's disease.\n\nApplications should focus on studies t
 hat achieve one or more of the following goals:\n\n	Comparisons of analyte
 s across complementary cohorts to identify or evaluate performance of puta
 tive biomarkers\n	Evaluation of underexplored genetic variants associated 
 with PD risk and correlates with clinical or molecular features of disease
 .\n	Identification of novel molecular indicators of phenoconversion and/or
  PD subtyping.\n	Integrated analysis of multi-omic data sets to identify a
 nd characterize critical pathways disrupted in Parkinson’s disease\n	Ide
 ntification of novel genotype-phenotype implications on molecular features
  of disease\n	Characterization of molecular indicators of the role of the 
 immune system in PD risk and patient outcomes.\n	Identification or evaluat
 ion of molecular indicators of lysosomal and endosomal function\, dysfunct
 ion\, or functional diversity relevant to PD risk and penetrance\n\nAmount
 : Applicants may request budgets ranging from $50\,000 to $350\,000 for pr
 ojects meeting the application criteria. Requested budget amount will not 
 correlate with prioritization for funding. Requested support should be com
 mensurate with work proposed and must include clear explanation of costs.\
 nDeadline: \n\n\n	Pre-proposals Due: September 28\, 2021\, 5 p.m. US ET\n	
 Full Proposals Due (by invite only): January 13\, 2022\, 5 p.m. US ET\n\nD
 uration: 12 to 18 months\nEligibility: Applications may be submitted by re
 searchers or clinicians in:\n\n\n	U.S. and non-U.S. biotechnology/pharmace
 utical companies\, or other publicly or privately held for-profit entities
 \; and\n	U.S. and non-U.S. public and private non-profit entities\, such a
 s universities\, colleges\, hospitals\, laboratories\, units of state and 
 local governments and eligible agencies of the federal government.\n	Post-
 doctoral fellows are eligible to apply as co-investigators with the design
 ation of an administrative primary investigator who directs the laboratory
  in which the fellow will conduct research. The administrative co-PI will 
 be responsible for assisting in providing all institutional documents requ
 ired for the project and will be required to sign any award contract. Trai
 ning or mentoring-only proposals will not be considered.\n\nHow to Apply:\

 create an account in the grant application portal.\n	Submit your completed
  application. \n\nFor Further Information: \n\n\n	Email grants@michaeljfo
