The funding philosophy
The foundation wants to enhance basic, applied and clinical research with potential therapeutical benefits in sporadic Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.

The foundation wants to encourage innovative approach

The assessment reports of the successful projects, their rating, and a brief report of the Scientific Advisory Board meeting will be transmitted to the members of the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee will then decide whether to allocate the appropriate budget to each successful application.

The members of the Executive Committee will be asked to finance the selected projects with one of the following two types of grant :
  • Major Grants, i.e. an envisaged  € 150.000 per year over three (3) years, for a full research project. 
  • Pilot Grants,  i.e. an envisaged € 100.000 over a two (2) years period, which aim at gathering a specific set of data in a new and promising field in preparation for further in-depth research.
The typology of the above grants is purely indicative and applications for grants of smaller or larger amounts shall be considered as well.

Maximum flexibility will govern decision on financing formats and schemes.

The Executive Committee will have complete liberty to adapt the funding of each project, taking into account the advices of the Scientific Advisory Board.

The Executive Committee will not fund projects that have not received a positive advice from  the Scientific Advisory Board.
