Description
The Ruth K. Broad Biomedical Research Foundation Extramural Grant supports high-priority, high-potential basic or translational research toward the prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative diseases outside Duke University. The foundation is a support corporation of Duke University, and its extramural program extends its research support beyond the university.
The program seeks innovative directions of study that could have a high impact on the field. Applications are evaluated for their potential to advance understanding of neurodegenerative disorders, with particular interest in the research’s relationship to Alzheimer’s disease. Pilot studies that can lead to more conventional funding are preferred, focusing the foundation’s support on new rather than existing research.
