2023 JPND Call: “Large Scale OMICS Approaches to Drug-target Finding in Neurodegenerative Diseases"

Description: To establish research projects aimed at improving the understanding of the complex and multifactorial pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases through multi-OMICS (branches of science known informally as omics are various disciplines in biology whose names end in the suffix – omics, such as genomics, proteomics, metabolomics) and Big Data approaches designed to find new drug targets and target biomarkers for the development of tailored and personalized treatment approaches.

Funding: $666,000 from the CIHR Institute of Aging to support the Canadian component of up to two transnational teams, over four years. Maximum amount per grant is $333,000, over four years.

Deadline: 7 March 2023 (pre-proposal); 27 June 2023 (full proposal).
