Application Details:

The Rapid Response Innovation Awards program supports innovative, high-risk/high-reward projects tackling critical scientific and therapeutic roadblocks that, if successful, open new avenues for PD therapy development. The program accelerates work in real time through the use of a unique rolling submission deadline and six-weeks-or-less funding decisions. Applicants submit at any time and learn quickly whether a project will receive MJFF support. The program is well suited to projects with little-to-no existing preliminary data, but where hypothetical rationale is compelling and study results can make the case for continuing (or discontinuing) a line of research. Applicants may submit on any PD-relevant area of basic, preclinical and/or clinical research.

Application Receipt Date: No Deadline (submissions accepted on a rolling basis) Anticipated Award Announcement: within 6 weeks of submission Anticipated Funding: within 12 weeks of submission

INDIRECT COSTS ARE ALLOWED AT A RATE OF UP TO 10% OF DC

Requests for Institutional approvals should be received no less than 3 days prior to the posted Sponsor deadline.
