Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF)

Organisme

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) seeks to stimulate development of Parkinson’s disease (PD) therapeutics with potential for fundamentally altering disease course and/or significantly improving treatment of symptoms above and beyond current standards of care

Objecte

Applicant will be asked to justify the therapeutic targets relevant for PD, provide details of the therapeutic strategy, and clearly identify any suboptimal properties of their therapeutic strategy. Considerations include:

The target and pathway proposed:
What is the relevance of the proposed target for PD?
What is the relationship of the proposed target within the pathway in which it is implicated to other potential targets?
Why is the proposed target the most relevant in that pathway – in comparison to other targets in the same pathway?

The therapeutic strategy:
Current drug development stage with clear justification
Provide research operation plan, including feasibility, timelines, and all assays to be performed
Provide a clear description (strengths and weaknesses) of the properties of the proposed therapeutic
