Alzheimer's Disease Research Awards Program
The ADR program offers three types of awards:
Standard Awards
Award Amount: $400,000
Duration: 3 yrs
Deadline for full application submission: October 19, 2010
The standard award provides significant funding for researchers who have already generated some amount of preliminary data, but often still require significant progress before they can apply to governmental or industrial funding agencies.
Pilot Awards
Award Amount: $150,000
Duration: 2 Yrs
Deadline for full application submission: October 19, 2010
Pilot awards are designed to take a highly innovative proposal with modest preliminary data and give investigators the opportunity to prove their ideas. These awards are typically described as being ‘high risk – high reward’. They are often given to investigators who need funding to demonstrate the validity of a very focused hypothesis.
Postdoctoral Fellowship Awards
Award Amount: $100,000
Duration: 2 yrs
Deadline for full application submission: October 19, 2010
Postdoctoral fellowship awards are intended for young researchers in their final stages of mentored training. These awards are meant to fund projects in an established laboratory that will serve as the basis for the applicant's own independent research career.
