Funding Opportunities

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, in partnership with ASAP and other funders, developed the GBA1-PD Research Catalyst Program to build a deeper, globally integrated understanding of GBA1-associated Parkinson’s disease by aligning efforts across geographies and maximizing the value of shared datasets and research assets. Funding will support hypothesis-driven projects with an emphasis on integrative, cross-cohort analyses and the systematic characterization and standardization of models to enable broad use by the research community.

The Parkinson’s Precision Medicine Initiative (PPMI) “Write Now” Initiative is a program created to encourage PPMI investigators, such as fellows or assistant professors within their first five years of appointment, to engage with PPMI data and generate publications that further our efforts to analyze and improve the overall understanding of the pathophysiology and/or treatment of Parkinson’s disease.

The MoMa call provides funds for meta-analysis projects that utilize data stored within the CRN Cloud to assess replicability, presence of common patterns, and potential for novel mechanistic insights.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, in partnership with ASAP, developed this program to support research that deepens our understanding of how specific components of the immune system contribute to Parkinson’s disease risk, onset, and progression.

Funds received from this grant support projects that focus on unraveling the biology underlying these genetic mutations. 

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.
