Neurodegenerative diseases of aging are among the least understood and most undertreated diseases, and place a large and increasing burden on society. Addressing this challenge requires innovative approaches to accelerating treatments. Canada has a world-class neuroscience research community engaged in solving this problem. Catalyzing and supporting these researchers can help lead to meaningful, timely breakthroughs. To be eligible, projects must fall into one of these two categories to be considered:
- Preclinical to Phase III development of a therapeutic
- Development of tools that help accelerate the development of therapeutics e.g., animal models, imaging techniques or reagents, biomarkers or diagnostics |
