Adira Foundation

Grants will be awarded in support of programs that aim to improve the lives of people impacted by neurodegenerative diseases such as ALS, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or Parkinson’s disease and/or their caregivers. The foundation anticipates funding three to five projects.

Priorities include:

• Simplifying Clinical Research: Programs that provide education, navigation, or direct support services to people living with neurodegenerative diseases and caregivers to facilitate the removal of participation barriers in clinical trials and research.
• Preparing for Future Threats to Livelihood: Programs that support education, navigation, and skill-building activities that provide opportunity for people living with neurodegenerative diseases and caregivers to prepare and implement a planned, phased approach to their disease journey.
• Thriving Again in Common Pursuits: Programs that support inclusive social and recreational activities, providing opportunity for people living with neurodegenerative diseases and caregivers to easily access and enjoy community-based spaces and resources.

Letters of Intent are due by October 18, 2021.
