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 critica! 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

2012 RESEARCH FUNDING PRIORITIES
The ADDF funds four different categories of research:
  • Drug Discovery (target validation; high throughput screening; medicinal chemistry, including hit to lead development and lead optimization; in vitro and in vivo studies of efficacy, ADME, toxicology, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics; and in vivo proof-of-concept with /ead compounds and biologics),
  • Early Detection (development of biomarkers to accelerate drug development and early diagnosis),
  • Clinical Trials (innovative pilot clinical trials)
  • Prevention (targeted pharmacological and non-pharmacologica/ approaches to prevention).

    FUNDING MECHANISMS
  • Academic Drug Discovery and Development Program seeks to create and support innovative translational programs in academic medical centers and universities.
  • Biotechnology Development Program supports qualified scientific projects in existing, private, early-stage biotechnology companies. The ADDF will provide support for qualified projects in more advanced companies if a clear need for non-profit funding to support the project can be demonstrated and justified. Funding is typically made as a program-related investment.
  • Biotechnology Founders Technology Transfer Program supports academic programs that are eligible for technology transfer and the start-up of new biotechnology companies. Up to 35% of funds from these awards may be employed for expenses related to company formation, such as administrative, legal, patent and third-party vendor costs.
  • Conference Grants support innovative scientific conferences that stimulate discussion around novel targets.
