The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is offering this grant to support critical research in Parkinson’s Disease (PD). This funding opportunity aims to discover biomarkers that will enhance the efficiency and outcomes of Phase II clinical trials for PD. Additionally, it seeks to support the collection of vital clinical data and new biological specimens for ongoing biomarker exploratory efforts under the NINDS Parkinson’s Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP). Applications may encompass both goals, utilizing existing or new cohorts. A key requirement is broad sharing of all collected data and biological specimens with researchers across academia, industry, and government. This ensures the development of valuable research resources, accelerating PD research. Applicants must provide strong statistical justification and scientific rationale for proposed subjects and samples, and ensure proper consent for data distribution.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to 1) support hypothesis driven clinical research to discover biomarkers that will improve the efficiency and outcome of Phase II clinical trials for Parkinsons Disease (PD) and 2) support the collection of clinical data and new biological specimens that will be used for biomarker exploratory efforts under the NINDS Parkinsons Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP). Applications may include both of these goals if justified. Studies using either existing or new cohorts may be appropriate. For all applications, applicants must describe statistical justification for the number of subjects/samples proposed and a clear scientific rationale for the range and types of subjects/samples to be collected. Broad sharing of data and biological specimens with academic, industry and government researchers is a critical feature of the PDBP generally and of this FOA specifically, in order to provide valuable research resources for the scientific community to advance Parkinsons Disease research in an efficient and effective manner (consistent with applicable laws, regulations, and policies); therefore, all subjects in any proposed study must be properly consented to allow appropriate sample and data distribution to researchers in academics and industry. |
