Feldstein Medical Foundation
The Feldstein Medical Foundation (FMF) is a private foundation, created
to promote and advance previously neglected areas of medical research.
FMF is particularly focused on funding: research in previously
underfunded areas; researchers seeking initial funding or junior
investigators (assistant professor level) with history of prior funding;
new or innovative research; or research where FMF grants will have the
maximum beneficial impact. Grants will be made in varied areas of
medical research, including, in order of priority: 1) Basic science; 2)
Translation/implementation studies; 3) Early clinical research; and 4)
Education. FMF will fund individual projects on an annual basis, issuing
grants with a total annual cost of up to $75,000 for up to 2 years. More
information is available at: http://www.feldsteinmedicalfoundation.org/

Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
The Foundation has five research funding opportunities currently open,
all part of Edmond J. Safra Core Program for Parkinson Disease.
Deadlines vary. According to the Foundation Center, a total of $11
million is available for 2009 awards. More information on all of these
opportunities is available at:

*	Rapid Response Innovation Awards supports projects with little
to no existing preliminary data, but potential to significantly impact
our understanding or treatment of Parkinson's disease. Funding decisions
made within six weeks of application receipt. Applications may be
submitted at any time.
*	Target Validation Awards support investigator-initiated
applications designed to validate the therapeutic potential of
scientific discoveries and to push them one step closer to the clinic.
Proposals are due Jan. 6, 2009.
*	The Therapeutics Development Initiative provides
industry-exclusive funding to support preclinical Parkinson's disease
research at for-profit institutions. Proposals are due Jan. 20, 2009.
*	Novel Approaches to Drug Discovery for Parkinson's Disease
provides funding to convert and further develop promising biological
targets into novel disease-modifying therapeutic strategies. Proposals
are due Feb. 10, 2009.
*	Clinical Intervention Awards provide funding to conduct novel or
critical clinical intervention trials of promising therapeutic
approaches that can significantly and fundamentally improve treatments
for PD. Ideal proposals will be those that focus on well-designed and
rigorous clinical trials testing potentially high-impact approaches.
Proposals are due Mar. 12, 2009.
