Motor Neurone Disease Association: Biomedical Research Projects

  Friday, 28 Oct 2022 | Funding Deadline

The MND Association supports biomedical research on Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and related conditions, in all relevant disciplines. The objectives of the MND Association research funding programme are to support research aimed at understanding the causes of MND, elucidating disease mechanisms and facilitating the translation of therapeutic strategies from the laboratory to the clinic. Funding for biomedical research will be based on broad criteria of relevance to classical MND, scientific merit and novelty. However, applicants must also demonstrate a potential therapeutic route from lab to clinic and/or the clinical relevance of their proposed research (for example, linking genotype, pathology or biomarkers with phenotype). Studies will generally be anticipated to relate to human MND, but research linked to phenotype in animal models will also be considered if the research is likely to significantly advance understanding or treatment of the human condition. Clinical & Healthcare project grants will seek to address knowledge gaps identified by the Association, taking into account information obtained from the PSP on Palliative and End of Life Care (2015) and the NICE Guideline on MND (due to be published in 2016).

Deadline for proposals: 28 October 2022
