The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) is offering a grant to support research in discovering human biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease and other Parkinsonian syndromes. This grant focuses on genetically causal Parkinson’s disease, differentiation of synucleinopathies from tauopathies, and improving diagnostic differentiation between PD and related disorders. Projects must include broad sharing of biospecimens and data, with a timeline of milestones for evaluation. Applications must be submitted by September 6, 2018, for consideration in advancing research in this important area.

| Description: | The purpose of this funding opportunity announcement (FOA) is to support hypothesis-driven research to discover human biomarkers in Parkinsons disease and other Parkinsonian syndromes, as a component of the NINDS Parkinsons Disease Biomarkers Program (PDBP). This FOA encourages biomarkers discovery projects in 1) genetically causal Parkinson’s disease, especially for particular sub-types of Parkinson’s Disease (PD), including genetic cohorts, biologically defined cohorts of idiopathic PD, or ethnic subgroups of idiopathic PD; 2) The differentiation of synucleinopathies (such as PD and Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) from tauopathies (such as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Corticobasal degeneration); or 3) to improve diagnostic differentiation between idiopathic/subtypes of PD and these disorders, as well as from Essential tremor. In order to further advance research in this area, broad sharing of biospecimens and associated data is a critical feature of the PDBP generally and of this FOA specifically. A timeline including milestones, which will be used to evaluate the application not only in peer review but also in consideration of the awarded project for funding of non-competing award years, is required for all studies. |
