New Grants for Parkinson's Research

Apply now to join the ASAP Collaborative Research Network

Awards: Up to $9 million over three years, per team (additional funding available for certain pre-clinical models).

The ASAP initiative is accepting applications to support multidisciplinary research teams to join the newly established ASAP Collaborative Research Network. ASAP seeks to fund research projects that address key knowledge gaps in the basic mechanisms that contribute to Parkinson’s development and progression.

Applications that focus primarily on Circuitry and Brain-body Interactions, inclusive of genetic and neuro-immune contributors to disease, will be considered.

Circuitry and Brain-Body Interactions

This RFA is open to international organizations including public and private non-profit groups, agencies of the U.S. federal government, and for-profit entities. Applications must be submitted by multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research teams consisting of three to five investigators.

ASAP is working with The Michael J. Fox Foundation to implement this award process.
