This department is offering the Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence for Parkinson’s Disease Research program to establish collaborative Centers focused on defining the causes and discovering improved treatments for Parkinson’s disease. The grants aim to support interdisciplinary research projects, translational research for therapeutics, diagnostics, or clinical criteria, Research Cores, an Administrative Core, and training for PD researchers. Applications should emphasize basic research foundational to the Udall Centers program, showing synergy among projects and Cores to advance understanding and treatment of Parkinson’s disease and related disorders.

| Description:: | The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) invites new and renewal applications for the Morris K. Udall Centers of Excellence for Parkinsons Disease Research program. The overarching goal of the specialized Udall Centers program is to establish a network of Centers that work collaboratively as well as independently to define the causes of and discover improved treatments for Parkinsons disease (PD). A more immediate goal for each Center is to rapidly advance synergistic basic, translational and clinical research programs while serving as local resources and national leaders in PD research. The overall theme, proposed research projects, and associated cores must inform the etiology, pathogenesis or treatment of PD. Investigations on related parkinsonian disorders may be included, to the extent that these directly inform research on PD. Required components include: 1) a minimum of three interdisciplinary research projects, with at least one translational research project focusing on the development of therapeutics, diagnostics, or clinical criteria that would ultimately lead to new approaches for the treatment of PD; 2) Research Cores that are essential to accomplish the aims of proposed research projects, plus an Administrative Core; and 3) a specific plan to provide for training of PD researchers. Because basic research serves as the foundation for discovery in the Udall Centers program, NINDS programmatic priorities will focus on applications that propose multidisciplinary programs including a well-integrated basic research project. A considerable degree of synergy must be evident among Center research projects and Cores, such that successful completion of the aims could not be accomplished without the Center structure. |
