Michael J. Fox Parkinson Foundation: Research Grants – Pre-proposals

Multiple opportunities:

Biomarkers to Support Therapeutic Trials

supports biomarkers research that will develop, optimize or analytically validate new or existing outcome measures to directly inform and transform therapeutic development.

Funding: up to $300,000 for one to two years.

Novel PET Tracer Development

Projects should be aimed at developing novel PET tracers as opposed to prospective studies to collect data using existing tracers. Examples of projects that are appropriate for this scheme include early screening efforts and early in vitro and in vivo validation of newly developed tracers.

Potential targets of interest include but are not limited to pathologic proteins, inflammation (astrocytes, NLRP3, microglia, etc) and other therapeutic targets (neuronal receptors, GBA, mitochondria etc).

Funding: up to $500,000 for 1-2 years.
