ASAP (Aligning Science Against Parkinson's) initiative funding stream
Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) is fostering collaboration and resources to better understand the underlying causes of Parkinson’s.
With scale, transparency, and open access data sharing, the initiative aims to accelerate the pace of discovery, and inform the path to a cure.
Funding opportunities through the ASAP initiative first opened in 2019. The ASAP initiative currently awards grants of up to $3 million over three years via its Scientific Track.
The ASAP initiative will accept applications to support multidisciplinary research teams to form the ASAP Collaborative Research Network. ASAP seeks to fund research projects to address key knowledge gaps in the basic mechanisms that contribute to Parkinson’s development and progression.
Applications must focus on one of the following scientific themes:
- PD Functional Genomics
- Neuro-Immune Interactions
- Circuitry and Brain-Body Interactions
- Progression: A Cross-Cutting Theme
The request for applications is open to international organisations including public and private non-profit groups, agencies of the U.S. federal government, and for-profit entities. Applications must be submitted by multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research teams consisting of three to five investigators.
ASAP will open the call for Letters of Intent (LOIs) in January 2025
LOI submissions will be due in March 2025
ASAP will announce funding decisions in November 2025
