Overview
The ALS Network (a member of ALS United, formerly ALS Golden West California) directly funds promising ALS research - basic, translational, and causal - through an annual letter-of-intent (LOI) program. Projects should be bold and innovative, solving critical problems in ALS using novel technology or methods. Up to $150,000 (including up to 15% indirect costs) may be awarded per project, with a possible second year after a one-year review. Eligible applicants may represent university, non-profit, or for-profit entities; only U.S.-based applicants are accepted.
