MND funding opportunities

We're on a mission to find and fund the smartest, most efficient research to expedite the development of MND treatments. We’ve created three categories of funding to support our research, from the first spark of an idea right through to drug development.

Our ‘Catalysing a Cure’ strategy focuses on bringing new treatments to people living with MND, faster. Driven by the urgent needs of our community, we believe effective treatments are not too far away, and by working with leading researchers and new approaches, we’re pushing faster toward making them a reality.
