| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The Alzheimer’s Association, Alzheimer’s Research UK (ARUK), The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF), and the Weston Brain Institute (Weston) announce a global Request for Applications (RFA). The main objective of BAND is to stimulate analyses across Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative diseases to increase understanding of pathogenesis similarities and differences. The intent of this RFA is to analyze across existing data; biological samples are not available for use under this RFA. Funding from this program may support but is not limited to projects that aim to develop and/or advance innovative data models, biomarker discovery, assay standardization, genetic profiling, harmonize existing data set phenotypes, analyze cross-disease or longitudinal analyses of existing data, inclusion of other neurodegenerative diseases related to PD and AD, or imaging development.
Funding: Maximum USD $150’000
Duration: 24 months
Eligibility: Applications are encouraged from research laboratories and teams around the world. Researchers with full-time staff or faculty appointments are encouraged to apply. Post-doctoral fellows are eligible to apply as a principal investigator (PI) but must collaborate with an administrative PI who serves as the director of the laboratory in which the research will be conducted.
How to Apply: The Letter of Intent (LOI) is the first step in the application. LOIs must be completed online at proposal central. Successful applicants will be given further instructions for submitting a full proposal.
Deadline (LOI): 10 September 2018
Deadline (Full Application, by invitation): 01 December 2018
