[ Michael J. Fox Foundation - Parkinson’s Pathways Biomarkers Program | Research Funding ]

Aim: The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) funds research to better define, measure, and treat Parkinson’s disease as well as critical tools and other resources to advance that research. The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to develop biomarkers that can support therapeutic development for priority pathways in PD. Specifically, the development of biomarkers for pathways that are known to be affected in PD and are the focus of therapeutic efforts—such as inflammation, mitochondrial function, lysosomal function, autophagy, protein trafficking, and protein handling—would dramatically improve our ability to diagnosis, objectively track the progression of disease, enrich for subject populations, or more precisely detect a treatment response or target engagement.
Funding: max. $300’000
Duration: 1-2 years
Eligibility: U.S. and non-U.S. public and private non-profit entities, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, laboratories, units of state and local governments and eligible agencies of the federal government. Post-doctoral fellows are not eligible to apply as principal investigators.

All pre-proposals received in response to MJFF RFAs will be subjected to review and only applicants whose pre-proposals are determined to best fit criteria as defined in the RFA will be invited to submit full applications.
