The Michael Lundquist Grant to Advance MSA-C Research from the National Ataxia Foundation (NAF) supports independent researchers in outstanding proposals that aim to make meaningful advancements in the treatment and care of individuals affected by multiple system atrophy, cerebellar subtype (MSA-C). While proposals may include aspects relevant to other forms of ataxia, the primary focus must be on preclinical, translational, or clinical research directly related to MSA-C.
Applicants must have completed their post-doctoral training and have a full-time appointment as a faculty member, clinical fellow, or senior scientist at a research institution. Applications are open to ataxia researchers worldwide. Applicants may apply for up to 50,000 USD (no indirect costs) for 1 year.
Letters of intent are due on November 18, 2026, and invited full applications are due on March 1, 2027.
