Michael J. Fox Foundation Commits Up to $2 Million for PD Drug Development Under Target Validation 2008
Date:11/1/2007

ilability. Grant submissions must include the necessary pharmacokinetic and toxicology studies required to fully validate their targets, and the Request for Applications (RFA) includes a list of CROs equipped to perform these studies. For investigators who are not able to carry out the required test in their own labs, MJFF has identified several Contract Research Organizations (CROs) to help applicants gather this critical information. The expertise and resources provided by the CROs will allow awardees to obtain information critical to fully validating the proposed targets.

Target Validation pre-proposals are due by December 18, 2007 and funding is anticipated by spring 2008.

A conference call with MJFF Research Programs staff to further clarify the aims and goals of this initiative will be held November 27 at 12 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time. Researchers wishing to participate in the call must RSVP to conferencecalls@michaeljfox.org and will receive an e-mail reply with call-in details.
