Sponsor/Award: MICHAEL J. FOX FOUNDATION - INFLAMMATION BIOMARKERS PROGRAM - 2017 COMPETITION | FULL APPLICATION

Grant Amount: VARIES
Deadline: Dean's: Contact your Faculty Research Office for deadline details.
Internal: Jul 28, 2017
Sponsor's: Aug 04, 2017

Subject Areas:
Description: The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research seeks to support research that will develop new or improve upon existing biomarker tools for neuroinflammation/peripheral inflammation in Parkinson's disease (PD). The specific goals of this initiative are to: 1) facilitate the development of biomarker measures that can be utilized for novel target validation, 2) assess pathological progression or phenoconversion, or 3) identify inflammation paradigms unique to PD. Proposed biomarkers should facilitate objective decisions to validate a particular target or target efficacy marker (downstream readouts of successful target modification), improve the ability to enrich subject populations in clinical trials and/or determine whether experimental treatments are modifying the course of the disease, its symptoms or its progression.

Application Details:

Funding is available for research on Companion Biomarkers, Immunophenotyping/Phenoconversion/Biochemical Assays and the Impact of aging on inflammation/neuroinflammation and relevance to PD

Only successful pre-proposals will be invited to apply.

25% INDIRECT COSTS ARE TO BE INCLUDED IN YOUR BUDGET

NOTE: All Letters of Intent and Full Applications must be processed through Research Development & Services for institutional approval. Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline.
