The Hope Center for Neurological Disorders has funds available to support interdisciplinary projects which advance
the translational neuroscience goals of the Hope Center. Faculty may request up to $100,000 for one-year projects
to begin December 1, 2008. At least two projects will be awarded initially, with additional awards possible as funding becomes available. Applications to renew existing projects will be accepted and reviewed alongside proposals for new projects.

Projects must involve at least two collaborating laboratories, and each collaborating investigator should have a significant role in the project. Project PIs must be Hope Center faculty members; other collaborators and co-investigators are not required to be Hope Center members. Projects will be reviewed for scientific merit by an independent faculty committee, and will be selected by the Hope Center Executive Committee with consideration
of merit, innovation, potential for future application to human nervous system disease, potential for external funding, and ability to advance the overall goals of the Hope Center. Preference will be given to projects which focus on current Hope Center scientific programs: (a) Protein Folding and Neurodegeneration, (b) Axonal Injury and Repair,
(c) Disorders of Mitochondria and Bioenergetics.

The application deadline is October 15, 2008 at 5:00pm. Please complete an application form and proposal materials, and submit 5 printed copies to the Hope Center administrative office (Biotechnology Building, Room 229), and a complete electronic copy to This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it .
