Objectiu de la convocatòria
Funding for projects to develop biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias accessible from the periphery.
Característiques principals
Through translational research awards and access to consulting support from industry experts, this program will challenge the research community to develop novel biomarkers from peripheral modalities.
Proposals addressing a range of potential clinical uses are of interest, especially tests for early screening and diagnosis, clinical trial enrichment, quantification of patient responses to therapeutics, or prediction of conversion from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer’s disease. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate both the technical rigor that underlies recent successes in peripheral biomarkers as well as bold and creative approaches to this longstanding challenge.
The following types of projects will be supported through this RFP:
  • Exploratory awards
  • Proof-of-principle awards
  • Validation awards
