Ruth K. Broad Biomedical Research Foundation: Advancing Understanding of Neurodegenerative Disorders
Deadline: February 1, 2025
Category: Neurodegenerative Disease,
The Ruth K. Broad Biomedical Research Foundation, Inc. is a support corporation of Duke University, that believes that effective treatment(s) for Alzheimer’s disease is attainable, and the hope that a cure will be found. In addition to its grant-making within Duke University, the foundation operates an extramural program that supports high-priority, high-potential, basic, or translational research toward the prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases outside of Duke University.
The Foundation will award a two-year grant, effective July 1, 2025, for $125,000 each year for non-Duke Faculty. Applications will be evaluated on their potential for advancing the understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, with particular interest in the potential relationship to Alzheimer’s disease.
The research proposed should be an innovative direction of study for the applicant’s lab with the potential for high impact on the field.
Applicants should be faculty at an accredited medical school in the United States or at a research institution affiliated with an accredited medical school in the United States.
