Important- 2012/2013 MJFF Grant Still up for Grabs
Therapeutic Pipeline Program - Spring 2013
Deadline: Closed as of September 12, 2012. Now in Review.
*New* - Our flagship program for supporting critical preclinical and clinical development of promising Parkinson's therapies. An Edmond J. Safra Core Program for PD Research.- MJFF website

“Stage I proposals are required and should be clear and succinct while providing
sufficient details to allow a clear understanding on the science behind the
research project proposed. Stage I applications will be reviewed and a decision
will be made by the beginning of December of this year.
Invitations to apply for Stage II of the review process will be sent out no later
than mid-December 2012. At that time, the structure for this Second Stage
application will be provided. Stage II applications will be then due on February
6, 2013 and we will then take a month or so to review those applications and
expect to announce the awards in May 2013 and to begin funding the grantees in
June 2013.”

Read the bottom of the 3rd page.

It specifically says that there is a phase I and phase II approval for the funding and that a final award isn't announced until May 2013. The phase 1 termination and phase II invite deadline happens to coincides with the "retracted" PR last Fall that is so often referenced against AMBS. Final Stage II data was due February 6th, 2013......AMBS posted final results in PR February 4th and February 6th....coincidence?

Huge misunderstanding about the deadline yesterday...it was the opening of the Spring-Fall 2013 funded programs.... but the $10M grant money from MJFF new program launched last Fall 2012 is still up for grabs and won’t announce until May 2013.

Even if it goes to another worthy entry…..big pharma is just around the corner… Know what you own.
