Característiques principals
FFOR seeks applications covering a broad range of topics and approaches that have the potential to dramatically change understanding of OCD pathophysiology or dramatically improve its treatment. Virtually any pre-clinical/basic science, translational or clinical research topic will be considered. Cross-disciplinary collaborative projects are encouraged. Examples of relevant research include, but are not limited to studies that aim to:
Discover the molecular, cellular, synaptic, or circuit basis of prominent OCD symptoms in model organisms including non-human primates or humans. However, this year we will not consider projects using rodent models.
Identify and/or test pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic targets.
Advance biomarker development for OCD to improve diagnoses and/or treatment outcomes.
Explore the role of the immune system or microbiome in OCD.
Develop new models or refine existing models of OCD.
