Event details
| Date | 26.09.2018 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) seeks to support research that will develop biomarker tools and clinical outcome measures to assist in diagnosis and therapeutic development and ultimately inform clinical trial design, execution and interpretation of results. Part of our Edmond J. Safra Core Programs for PD Research, the Improved Biomarker and Clinical Outcome Measure program funds research to develop or optimize imaging, clinical, non-invasive or biochemical biomarkers.
Funding will be directed to projects that will improve the precision of measuring Parkinson's disease in humans. This could include enriching subject populations in clinical trials, developing markers of target engagement, or discovery or validation of objective outcomes that track disease progression.
Funding: Maximum USD $750’000
Duration: 1-3 years
Eligibility: Researchers at all academic levels at or above Assistant Professor are eligible to apply. Post-doctoral fellows are eligible to apply as co-investigators with the designation of an administrative principal investigator who directs the laboratory in which the fellow will conduct research.
How to Apply: The pre-proposal is the first step in the application. Pre-proposals must be completed in the online application portal. Successful applicants will be given further instructions for submitting a full proposal.
Deadline (Pre-proposal): 26 September 2018 (5:00 pm EST)
