GO3616 - Motor Neurone Disease Translational Research

Overview

The purpose of this grant opportunity is to support FightMND’s translational research projects in the development of innovative treatments for Motor Neurone Disease (MND). The objectives of this grant opportunity are: * to support research that identifies new targets for therapeutic intervention for MND; * to support research and development of innovative treatments and therapies for MND; and * improve research translation into best practice treatment and therapies for MND. The intended outcomes of the grant are: * to address gaps of knowledge of the disease processes that support the identification of novel targets specific to MND for the development of more effective disease modifying treatments; and * to address a lack of basic research to understand how best to apply therapeutic advances in other neurological diseases to the development of novel approaches to treating MND, including inherited MND.
