Funding Opportunities
The Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative is on a mission to accelerate the pace of discovery for Parkinson’s disease through collaboration, generation of research-enabling resources, and data sharing. We provide funding opportunities to the scientific community, and work with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to implement the award process.
Funding opportunities are broken down into the following categories:
• Open: Accepting applications.
• In Review: Applications under review; funding decisions pending.
• Active: Grants awarded; funded projects in progress.
• Closed: Projects closed out.

Steps to Apply:
Collaborative Research Network Discovery Fellowships Trainee 2025
A competitive award designed to elevate Collaborative Research Network (CRN) postdoctoral research fellows, foster collaboration across disciplines, and facilitate trainee development.
Collaborative Research Network Parkinson’s Disease Functional Genomics 2020
Funds received from this grant support projects that focus on unraveling the biology underlying these genetic mutations.
Collaborative Research Network Neuro-Immune Interactions Discovery 2020
Funds received from this grant support projects that focus on uncovering the molecular and cellular contributions of the neuro-immune system in Parkinson’s disease. The application period for these grants is now closed. Funded teams are actively working on their proposed projects.
Collaborative Research Network Circuitry & Brain-Body Interactions Discovery 2021
Funds received from this grant support projects that focus on investigating how communication between the brain and areas outside the brain is affected over the course of the disease.
