The APBD Research Foundation in partnership with the Orphan Disease Center (ODC) at the University of Pennsylvania is pleased to announce the 2024 Million Dollar Bike Ride Pilot Grant Program. This program provides a one‐year grant to support research related to APBD.
Two grants for $56,857 each will be awarded. A project may be considered for up to $113,714 in funding if the researcher has an outstanding project and submits two proposals: one for $56,857 and another for $113,714.
Priority will be given to projects advancing biomarker development, which is crucial for the design of future therapeutic trials.
We also welcome proposals that enhance APBD understanding, support clinical phenotyping for trials, or have strong potential for federal funding. Research on preventing or removing polyglucosan bodies from the nervous system will also be considered.
Letter of Interest (LOI) applications are due on September 20, 2024, by 8pm EST. For more details about how to submit your LOI and the application process, visit the ODC website.
This Request for Applications (RFA) is open to the international research community. All individuals holding a faculty‐level appointment at an academic institution or a senior scientific position at a non-profit institution or foundation are encouraged to apply.
