ALS Finding a Cure Call for Proposals – From Resilience to Vulnerability: Defining the Biological Determinants of ALS Onset

Justin Green2026-03-02T19:08:53+00:00

ALS Finding a Cure® Request for Proposals (RFP) From Resilience to Vulnerability: Defining the Biological Determinants of ALS Onset Overview ALS Finding a Cure® (ALSFAC) invites proposals for research aimed at defining the biological mechanisms that determine why ALS develops in some individuals but not others. This initiative will support mechanistic studies that investigate determinants of motor neuron vulnerability, pathways that confer resistance to neurodegeneration, and biological events that initiate ALS prior to clinical symptom onset. Projects may include laboratory-based, computational, and human-focused research using model systems, biospecimens, datasets, or clinical populations. Background and Rationale Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [...]

2025 Advancing ALS Discovery through Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing

2026-02-28T00:00:10+00:00

ALS Finding a Cure, ALS Network, and Hop On A Cure Award Research Grants to Four Teams of Leading Scientists Advancing Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing in ALS Discovery Overview: ALS is a serious neurodegenerative disease with need for more therapeutic options. AI and Natural Language Processing offer the potential to revolutionize ALS research by enabling the extraction of meaningful insights from complex datasets, including electronic health records (EHRs), published medical literature, clinical trial data, omics datasets, and real-world patient-reported data. ALS Finding a Cure recently issued a grant call for proposals with the following goals: Drug Discovery and Repurposing [...]
