Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research
Deadline: 10/22/2020 LOI
Amount: $100,000 max
Description:
The purpose of the program is to contribute to better understanding of Parkinson’s and inform therapeutic development, clinical care, and public policy. The Fox Insight dataset includes cross-sectional and longitudinal data from people with and without Parkinson’s as well as genetic data collected by 23andMe on a subset of the Parkinson’s cohort. The scale of volunteers contributing data to Fox Insight provide unprecedented power to translate patient experience into research insights, and this RFA aims to support diverse research teams to extract learnings from the community of Fox Insight participants.
While the foundation encourages investigators with diverse research expertise to apply, applicants with Parkinson’s experience will be at an advantage. Study leadership and the foundation can be available to consult with applicants without Parkinson’s expertise during proposal development and, if funded, throughout the project.
