Description:

The Drug Discovery RFP supports: Novel drug programs aiming to advance novel lead molecules to the clinical candidate selection stage. This includes small molecules and biologics (e.g., antibodies, peptides, gene therapies). Repurposed/repositioned programs aiming to build preclinical evidence in relevant animal models for repurposed drugs (existing drugs that are approved for other diseases and conditions) and repositioned drugs (existing drugs that have entered clinical trials for other indications and have not yet been approved).

The Alzheimer?s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) seek to drive the development of potential disease-modifying therapies by supporting innovative small molecule and biologic (antibodies, oligonucleotides, peptides, gene therapy etc.) drug development programs for FTD through this request for proposals (RFP).

Application Details: Successful LOIs will be invited to submit a full proposal.

ADDF DOES NOT PROVIDE FUNDING FOR INDIRECT COSTS/OVERHEAD
