Mechanisms of Pathological Spread of Abnormal Proteins in LBD and FTD (R01 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

Funding Opportunity RFA-NS-21-006 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. This funding opportunity announcement invites research on the mechanism(s) by which abnormal proteins spread throughout the nervous systems of patients with Frontotemporal Dementia and/or Lewy Body Dementia. Applications that move beyond a focus on one mechanisms of spread to consider how spreading might proceed in the context of multiple proteinopathies, multiple cell/circuit types, and multiple pathways are of particular interest.
