Mission: Historically, ALS research was conducted by committed ALS researchers working separately on various aspects of the disease. Project A.L.S.™ changed that approach dramatically by requiring that researchers and doctors from many disciplines work together, share data openly, and meet shared research milestones. Project A.L.S.™ actively recruits researchers, much as competitive sports teams recruit the best athletes. Project A.L.S.™ has built dream teams in four main areas: Basic Research, Genetics, Stem Cells, and Drug Screening. Project A.L.S.™ research is funded on a rolling basis and is vetted by the Project A.L.S.™ research advisory board.
