Objectiu de la convocatòria
The Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) funds drug discovery and development research programs in the field of Alzheimer's disease (AD), related dementias and cognitive aging. The ADDF seeks to fill the critical translational funding gap between basic research and later stage drug development by funding promising drug discovery and development programs. In addition to funding academic programs, the ADDF also invests in and creates early stage biotechnology companies. The ADDF also co-sponsors conferences to stimulate new ideas and approaches in areas of interest to the Foundation.
Característiques principals
The ADDF is requesting proposals for innovative computational approaches to map disease and predict the efficacy of drugs to treat and prevent dementia. A variety of approaches and outcomes will be considered. Priority will be given to interdisciplinary teams composed of computational and biology/disease experts, and to proposals that use and perhaps develop open-access databases of biological and clinical data. The winning submission(s) will present the most scientifically compelling, novel, and viable program to accelerate drug discovery.

  • Funding Opportunity #1. Novel computational approaches to modeling drug efficacy on a key therapeutic target for Alzheimer’s disease.
  • Funding Opportunity #2. Novel computational approaches to model disease risk and progression based on risk factors.
