Kissick Family Foundation | Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Grant Program
Event details
| Date | 01.11.2024 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: This call for proposals solicits projects that address the fundamental aetiologies and mechanisms for sporadic FTD. For the purposes of this request for proposals (RFP), sporadic FTD is defined as FTD that develops without identified mutations in the autosomal dominant genes GRN, MAPT, and C9orf.
The Kissick Family Foundation FTD Grant Program will support fundamental science and early-stage translational research in sporadic FTD. The foundation will build on its first cycle of the grant program to continue prioritizing projects that are rigorous, that demonstrate courage to approach the field in a new way, and that maximize impact in FTD. By supporting research projects in sporadic FTD, this program seeks to grow and strengthen the research ecosystem and accelerate progress toward a healthy life for people living with FTD.
Duration: 2 years
Funding: max. $500,000
Eligibility: Each applicant organization must be a nonprofit academic or research institution, including domestic and non-US nonprofit organizations and domestic and non-US public/private academic universities or institutions of higher learning (including colleges, universities, medical schools, and other related academic research institutions). Multidisciplinary investigator collaborations are encouraged to apply. Collaborators should be identified as co-investigators and provide the materials described in the sections below. Proposals with co-investigators must identify a single corresponding PI and submitting institution.
How to Apply: All completed letters of intent (LOIs) and proposals shall be submitted through the SPARC online grant portal. LOIs requirements are available here.
Deadline Letter of Intent: 01 November 2024
