Kissick Family Foundation FTD Grant Program: Information Session
SHARE
The Kissick Family Foundation has partnered with Milken Institute Science Philanthropy Accelerator for Research and Collaboration (SPARC) since 2022 to analyze and understand the state of the frontotemporal dementia (FTD) research ecosystem and identify where philanthropic investments could be deployed to overcome barriers to scientific progress.
The Kissick Family Foundation Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) Grant Program will now fund a second cohort of research to understand the fundamental biology of why and how sporadic forms of FTD develop. In partnership with the Milken Institute Science Philanthropy Accelerator for Research and Collaboration (SPARC), the program seeks to broaden the foundational knowledge of FTD to spur diagnostic and therapeutic advancements. The SPARC online grant portal is now accepting applications for two-year projects to conduct basic or early-stage translational research on this topic.
The RFP for this funding cycle is now closed. Please view the RFP for more details.
