Description: |
The NAVIGATOR Research Program has been running since 1994. This program supports senior researchers across Canada. This program supports basic scientific research of direct and immediate relevance to Huntington Disease in Canada with the aim of providing a platform for the future recruitment of outstanding investigators to HD research, to facilitate research collaboration nationally and internationally, and to support research that is relevant to other neurodegenerative disorders. **NEW FOR 2013 A LETTER OF INTENT MUST BE SUBMITTED BY 3PM FEBRUARY 22, 2013 **
All applications for funding through the NAVIGATOR Research Program are subject to review by the Society's Research Council, which may elect to enlist external reviewers with particular expertise in the appropriate area.
The criteria for evaluating applications are:
- the direct and immediate relevance of the work proposed to Huntington Disease (i.e., improved understanding of pathogenic mechanisms; significance with respect to the development of new treatments);
- the scientific excellence of the research proposal; the potential relevance of the work to other neurodegenerative disorders;
- the specific rationale and budget rationale for support (i.e. how will support enable the laboratory to pursue research not funded from other sources, and contribute to the emergence of special areas of expertise). |
