The Coins for Alzheimer’s Research Trust (CART) has issued a request for applications for exploratory and developmental Alzheimer’s Disease research.
This program will provide support for the early and conceptual plans of those projects that may not yet be supported by extensive preliminary data but have the potential to substantially advance biomedical research. Proposal should be distinct from those projects designed to increase knowledge in a well-established area unless it is intended to extend previous discoveries toward new directions or applications.
Up to $500,000, direct costs only, will be awarded for a project period of up to 2 years.
Full-time faculty (or the equivalent status) at U.S.-based public and private institutions are eligible to apply.
To Apply:
- This is an open RFP (UCSF may submit an unlimited number of applications).
- Follow application instructions in RFP, conferring with your Grants Officer as needed. Please notify your Grants Officer of your intention to apply as soon as possible to ensure that they will have enough time to support your application.
- LOI deadline is December 5, 2025. If you are invited to submit a full application, the deadline will be February 13, 2026.
