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.
Programs: Funded research - research -funding for scientific medical research to find treatments and ultimately a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (als) an ultimately fatal motor neuron disease by promoting calaboration and information sharing among researcher for all related diseases such as parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.
education - raise awareness of and provide information about als through speaking engagements, newsletter and website.
