The goal of the Program is to provide funding for Canadian scientific research of direct and immediate relevance to HD; to provide a platform for the future recruitment of outstanding investigators to HD research; to facilitate research collaboration nationally and internationally, and research which is relevant to other neurodegenerative disorders as well as HD.
Criteria
All letters of intent and applications for funding through the NAVIGATOR Research Program are subject to review by the Society’s Research Council, which may elect to enlist external reviewers with particular expertise in the appropriate area.
Letters of intent will be assessed based on eligibility and relevance to the call.
The criteria for evaluating applications are:
The direct and immediate relevance of the work proposed to Huntington Disease (i.e., improved understanding of pathogenic mechanisms; significance with respect to the development of new treatments); the scientific excellence of the research proposal; the potential relevance of the work to other neurodegenerative disorders; the specific rationale and budget rationale for support (i.e. how will support enable the laboratory to pursue research not funded from other sources, and contribute to the emergence of special areas of expertise), and collaborative potential.
Term and Amount
Funding recommendations for awards through the NAVIGATOR Research Program will be made by the Research Council, subject to the availability of funds.
Each NAVIGATOR award will provide funding of up to $75,000 per year for one or two years.
It is the Huntington Society’s intention to provide seed funds (and ongoing support to projects) prioritized by the Research Council, and to laboratories that are actively engaged in Huntington Disease research.
Primary Investigators (PI) holding a full-time faculty appointment in an appropriate discipline at a Canadian university, research institute, or hospital are eligible to apply for funding through the NAVIGATOR Research Program.
