[U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE - ALS Therapeutic Idea Award | Research Funding]
Event details
| Date | 22.06.2018 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: Through the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP), the Department of Defense is announcing the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Research Program Therapeutic Idea Award. This Award will promote new ideas aimed at drug or treatment discovery that are still in the early stages of development. Development and/or modification of preclinical model systems or the application of high-throughput screens to define or assess lead compounds for ALS treatment are of interest. Development of methods to adequately measure target binding and proximal downstream effects (target engagement) and the potential for undesirable activities at related but unintended targets (selectivity) are also encouraged. All proposed research projects should include a well-formulated, testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale that holds translational potential to improve ALS treatment and/or advance a novel treatment modality.
Funding: Maximum USD $500’000
Eligibility: Applicants from international organizations or institutions are eligible to apply, and there are no citizenship restrictions. Applicants must be independent investigators, but can come from any academic level.
How to Apply: Pre-applications are submitted through the eBRAP platform. They should contain contact information, a list of collaborators and key personnel, a preproposal narrative, and supporting documentation as suggested on the platform. Full applications (by invitation) will be made via a Grants.gov workspace. Full application packages can be downloaded from Grants.gov at any time.
