2010 ADDF / AFTD Request for Proposals – Deadline: September 9   

Novel Biomarkers to Accelerate Drug Discovery for Frontotemporal Dementias
Drug discovery for frontotemporal dementias (FTD) has been hindered by the heterogeneity of the disease. FTD specific biomarkers that reflect pathological differences are needed to select appropriate patients for clinical trials and monitor target-specific responses to investigational treatments. The Alzheimer’s Drug Discovery Foundation (ADDF) and The Association for Frontotemporal Dementias (AFTD) challenge scientists to meet this unmet medical need by submitting applications through this Request for Proposals (RFP).

The deadline for applications is September 9, 2010. Read the full application instructions here.
