Funding

The Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s (ASAP) initiative offers competitive funding opportunities to the scientific community, including supporting Collaborative Research Network (CRN) teams advancing Parkinson’s disease (PD) research.

CRN Funding Opportunities

ASAP currently supports high-risk, large-scale, ambitious projects across five themes. Funded teams will join our network of international, multidisciplinary, and multi-institutional investigators who are working to address high-priority research questions in an effort to accelerate the pace of discovery for (PD) and drive new ideas into the R&D pipeline.

In the past six years, ASAP has hosted three competitive funding opportunities to support high-risk, large-scale, ambitious projects across Parkinson’s disease research themes. Funded teams participate in our network of international, multidisciplinary, and multi-institutional investigators who are working to address high-priority research questions in an effort to accelerate the pace of discovery for PD and drive new ideas into the R&D pipeline.

ASAP works with The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research to implement the award process.

CRN Research Themes

We are focused on priority scientific themes related to PD, based in part on underfunded research areas identified through ASAP’s substantial planning process.
