Goal: To generate preliminary research data needed to secure more substantial funding through traditional federal, institutional, and/or industry grant mechanisms. Recognizing the importance of creating a sustainable infrastructure for collaborative research and excellence in clinical care, the GLIA-CTN Pilot Project Award is designed to enhance clinical trial readiness in the leukodystrophies through clinical/translational research in biomarkers, or assays to assess therapeutics, or other initiatives directed towards clinical trial readiness. |
Sponsor: Global Leukodystrophy Initiative Clinical Trials Network (GLIA-CTN) |
Eligibility Criteria: Candidates for the award must have a doctoral degree within the health professions (e.g., MD, DO, DDS, DMD, OD, DC, PharmD) and be actively affiliated with a US-based academic and/or health care institution. Individuals with degrees in nursing research and/or practice, who are licensed to practice clinically, may be eligible. There are also certain circumstances in which individuals with a PhD may be eligible. Innovative, early-stage applications addressing key knowledge gaps that are without evidence of alternate means of funding (i.e., “high-risk/high-yield”) are encouraged. |

Goal: A mentored award designed to provide "protected time" for clinically trained individuals to receive supervised training in biomedical research related to leukodystrophies. A long-term goal is to establish a Leukodystrophy Center at each award recipient’s local institution. The award supports a period of supervised research, in conjunction with career development opportunities, for physician-scientists who require additional mentored training and support during development of an innovative research project. |
