Description: |
The Foundation, through its Weston Brain Institute is pleased to announce the re-launch of our flagship Rapid Response program designed to provide seed funding to catalyze novel, high-risk, high-reward translational research that accelerates the development of therapeutics or tools for neurodegenerative diseases of aging. Projects should be translational research that can accelerate therapeutic or tool development for neurodegenerative diseases of aging (NDAs), as defined by the Institute. Therapeutics should address unmet needs in the prevention, treatment and/or symptomatic management of NDAs. Tools should address challenges in translational research that would accelerate the development and/or clinical implementation of therapeutics for NDAs (e.g., biomarkers, drug delivery systems).
Projects should have preliminary data to support the hypothesis and feasibility of the project. |
