[ US National Institutes of Health – Accelerating Medicine Partnership in Parkinson’s disease: data use and analysis | Research Funding ]
Event details
| Date | 18.03.2020 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The Accelerating Medicine Partnership in Parkinson’s disease (AMP PD), a component of the National Institute of Health (NIH) AMP program, was established in January 2018 as a public-private partnership managed by the Foundation for NIH (FNIH). The mission of AMP PD is to identify and validate prognostic, progression and predictive biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease (PD).
The funding opportunity announcement (FOA) invites applications that will apply computational approaches to the integration and analysis of clinical, genomic and transcriptomic data from the AMP PD to advance the identification of algorithms, biomarkers, and disease pathways related to the diagnosis, prognosis and progression of Parkinson’s disease. Development of tools and workflows for data visualization and integration across data modalities and their application to AMP PD data are also supported.
Funding: $300’000 (direct costs)
Duration: 1 year
Eligibility: Non-domestic (non-U.S.) Entities (Foreign Institutions) are eligible to apply. Any individual(s) with the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research as the Program Director(s)/Principal Investigator(s) (PD(s)/PI(s)) is invited to work with his/her organization to develop an application for support. This FOA does not require cost sharing. To fully integrate the clinical data with the omics data available through AMP PD, it is required that the research team be composed of a clinician scientist with expertise in movement disorders, as well as individual(s) with expertise in computational biology, data analysis and cloud computing.
How to Apply: Applicants should closely follow the instructions given in the SF424 Application Guide. In addition to the online application, applicants are asked to submit a letter of intent before the deadline to [email protected] that includes the following information:
Budgets must include the cost for running software and services on the Google Compute Engine (GCE) and for data uploads (if appropriate)into the AMP PD Researcher Workbench in the cloud environment.
Deadline: 18-March-2020 (5:00 PM local time of applicant)
