Request for Proposals: Kissick Family Foundation Frontotemporal Dementia Grant Program (2025-2026)

The Kissick Family Foundation aims to accelerate basic discoveries, expedite novel treatment options, and, ultimately, improve patient outcomes for people living with FTD. All responsive applications must examine factors that are not exclusive to the autosomal dominant genetic pathways and instead must have clear relevance to sporadic FTD.

A broad range of topics are responsive to this call. For example, proposals may target the disease’s basic biology, develop and validate biomarkers that can be used to diagnose and track disease progression more effectively, or preclinically assess novel therapeutic targets.
