Description: The Discovery Grant program encourages new basic research focused on identifying causes of, or treatments for ALS and related neurological disorders. The spirit of this program is ?high risk/high reward? and is aimed at independent investigator(s) proposing a novel research approach, supported by a sound rationale and feasible experimental plan, but not necessarily preliminary data. Traditionally, the Discovery Grants program has provided support to novel projects from established ALS researchers, individuals from outside the field applying specific knowledge or expertise to ALS and related neurological disorders or teams of multiple investigators combining expertise in novel ways.
