Pivot: http://pivot.cos.com/funding_opps/113886 Amount Available: $150,000 over two years Grant Program: Founders Affiliate Clinical Research Program The objective of this program is to encourage early career investigators who have appropriate and supportive mentoring relationships to engage in high quality introductory and pilot clinical studies that will guide strategies for reducing cardiovascular disease and stroke while fostering new research in clinical and translational science, and encouraging community- and population-based activities. This grant does not fund basic science or support senior researchers, but encourages mentoring of early career investigators. Funding is available for research related to cardiovascular disease and stroke prevention or treatment, or to related clinical and public health problems, including multidisciplinary efforts. Proposals are encouraged on provider behavior, patient behavior, behavioral outcomes, risk factor outcomes, disease outcomes, cost benefit analyses, efforts to evaluate outcomes of patient care delivery and patient/provider and/or system compliance and adherence to recommendations, as well as pilot clinical research studies that may provide preliminary data for larger-scale investigation. Studies using existing databases are also encouraged. Ancillary studies or a clearly defined sub-study of an ongoing clinical research study are also encouraged. There must, however, be clear justification that the proposal is a sub-study and not a piece of an already funded project. Pivot: http://pivot.cos.com/funding_opps/140527

In order to respond to the changing environment, the Foundation periodically reassesses the need for financial support by the various fields of biological research. The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows: Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral output or brain mechanisms of behavior. Pivot: http://pivot.cos.com/funding_opps/3561 Amount Available: $1,000,000 Grant Program: Program to Accelerate Clinical Trials (PACT) for Alzheimer’s Disease The true test for new Alzheimer's drugs is in human clinical trials. Numerous treatments for Alzheimer's disease have been shown to be safe and to have some positive effect when tested in animal models of Alzheimer's disease. However, many of these potentially successful drugs have not been brought to human trials because of the increased cost and risk at this stage of research. The ADDF is responding to this problem by creating the Alzheimer's Program to Accelerate Clinical Trials (PACT). The goal of this Request for Proposals (RFP) is to increase the number of innovative drugs tested in humans for Alzheimer's disease. This program will fund biomarker-based pilot clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease.

The goal of the fund is to encourage exploratory and developmental AD research projects within the United States by providing support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. This proposal should be distinct from those projects designed to increase knowledge in a well established area unless it is intended to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
