The ALS Association’s Seed Grants provide $50,000 in total funding over 1 year to conduct preliminary ALS research that will support funding applications from other sources for larger scale and more impactful research projects. We are interested in receiving applications from all scientific disciplines on topics that have the potential to ultimately transform the experience of ALS by optimizing the care and treatments we have, finding new treatments and cures, and/or preventing the disease and its harms. In addition to projects focused specifically on ALS, projects that investigate the continuum of disease spanning ALS and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are in scope. Applications from early career investigators in ALS and investigators from outside the field of ALS are encouraged.
