Funding Opportunities

The Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative is on a mission to accelerate the pace of discovery and inform the path to a cure for Parkinson’s disease (PD) through collaboration, generation of research-enabling resources, and data-sharing. The ASAP initiative provides funding opportunities to the scientific community. Learn more about current ASAP funding opportunities below.

Collaborative Research Network (CRN) 2025

In early 2025, ASAP offered two open, competitive funding opportunities for the research community to provide additional capital to spur discovery for Parkinson’s disease research. Funded teams will join the ASAP Collaborative Research Network, an international, multidisciplinary, and multi-institutional network of collaborating investigators who are working to address high-priority research questions in an effort to accelerate the pace of discovery for Parkinson’s disease and drive new ideas into the R&D pipeline.

The application period for both of these funding opportunities is now closed. View below to learn more. 

Scientific Track

Focus on supporting high-priority projects to dissect the mechanisms that contribute to PD heterogeneity. The LOI application period for these grants is now closed.

Learn more about the opportunity.

Technical Track

Focus on the development of novel, sustainable tools to accelerate validation and therapeutic R&D for emerging targets and mechanisms identified from ASAP discoveries. The LOI application period for these grants is now closed. 

Learn more about the opportunity. 

ASAP works with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to implement the award process.

Uncovering the roots of Parkinson's disease, together.

The ASAP Catalog showcases the research outputs and tools developed by ASAP-funded programs and researchers to foster learning and collaboration in the PD space.
